I have a vague memory from a long time ago of a man holding a board, advertising an adjacent flower shop. He was plugged into an MP3 player and looked like he was plucked from  a 90’s “smoke and pill filled rave party”. The sign was boasting the cheapest roses in town.

Although this memory was from a long time ago it gave me hope that when driving home the other night that I would find a flower shop in that part of town. Well I did. I am not sure if it was the same store as the dancing flower-board man, this was not important at the time, it sold flowers and it was open, this was good enough. The next day was my daughter’s birthday and I wanted to buy flowers for my wife as a thank you for birthing our “wee gal.”

I was really delighted with my new find. The bouquets were amazing for the price they were charging. The one in the photo above was only $9.99. Seriously, less than ten bucks – wow!! The next size up was only $16.99.

When you compare this to other flower shops either independent or part of a supermarket, you are looking at $10-12 for three small bunches of tulips.

Paradise Garden is a great deal.

The service was excellent too. The lady wrapped them and even added a small bow.

The flowers lasted a good week, which isn’t the longest but is as long as other flowers I have purchased from more expensive shops. In the end I love this new find and will return for sure.
