I ordered flowers for my Mom for her birthday, as I was out of town and could not be in Pittsburgh for Mom's special day. As soon as she received the arrangement, she called me and told me it was the "MOST BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENT" she had ever seen. Over a week later, Mom told me the flowers still looked magnificent. Obviously they were very fresh. I used Joanna's shop, as I heard from friends at home that she has the freshest flowers and she creates gorgeous, classy arrangements. (I wish I knew about her when I ordered flowers recently!) I will use her services again and I highly recommend this shop. P.S. Mom said she used Joanna's shop for a floral funeral gift for an acquaintance and she said it was outstanding. Save yourself some money (call the shop directly) as I understand she doesn't charge wire-out fees and she is very reasonably priced!!
