Do you expect the same with chocolates, a candle, perfume, a sweater?


I think you lack world experience (and or don’t really care if you sent nice flowers, you were checking a box).

But usually yes I send a picture of me wearing the jewelry or the sweater.

Same.

I can see if it was worth what I paid, they have no idea.

Me, too.

Sometimes they look very different from the picture presented when you bought them. Not necessarily worse, but different. Good info to have.

Not weird at all. As a matter of fact, I appreciate it because it helps me to have an idea if the florist did a good job or not. Once I paid for a flower basket for someone and it was child like. I was embarrassed and happy to no not to every use them again.

I think is thoughtful. Sometimes florists are such scammers. I paid got a rose bouquet for my mother and they sent her daisies. I'm so glad she sent me a picture. Otherwise I'd never know

So you can see how pretty they are. Isn’t that obvious?

Proof of life. Also they think they're pretty and took a picture.

Because we assume you didn’t see them and would enjoy knowing what your gift looks like in person.
