Exactly

That’s what my mom does. We catch up
When we can.

Maybe they are still going to send handwritten note, they just wanted to acknowledge receipt of flowers quickly.

Op, you are a high maintenance bean counter and therefore not a true friend .

I’m confused. What else would they do? This seems like an appropriate response to me, and is what anyone I’ve ever sent flowers to has done.

I’m honestly curious… were you expecting/hoping for a phone call? Thank you note in the mail? Something else?

I sent flowers one time to a friend who lives out of state and they never acknowledged. I was floored.

Unless you are over 70, that's how people communicate these days, best friend or not.

I only send thank you card to people over 75. They are old school, I get it.

I am asking a question. Calm down please. Need a drink?

Maybe you should have a drink. Are you very old?

The only people I know that send thank you notes (besides for wedding presents and the like) are over 70 y.o. It is a generational thing. The youngest generation barely talks on the phone. A "thank you" by text is fine; a somewhat effusive one is even better.

DP. You come on here asking a bizarre question and most ppl rightfully are confused. You react by gaslighting PP as if they're the one with a problem.

You're very annoying.

Op what exactly were you expecting?

Totally fine.
Signed, a woman who has an engraved stationery "suite" (the Hon. & Mrs. ---) and 5 etiquette books on my shelf. Pre-2008, I would have sent a note on the fancy stationery. Today, no one has time for that.

Your question is odd. No sane person would ascribe a negative connotation to the exchange. We’re at DCUM unanimity.

Why wouldn’t they be a friend? That’s a weird conclusion. And flowers are always nice to get and I do the same take a pic and text. But let’s be honest, they aren’t some end all be all gift by any means. They are a nice gesture and you were thanked.
