    Was there many stems in yours and what colour were they, if you don't mind me asking?

    Same here, all unopened buds (Yellow/Orange), so they'll last a while

    Very few stems more like a £4.99 bunch from a supermarket, not as pictured or the true value of £25.00 a bunch as I was lead to believe

    I'm thinking of emailing them as I ordered 2 lots

    Same here, very annoyed. Could have bought nicer myself.

    Delivered by post, guernsey flowers I think.

    Very angry, not what I thought I was signing up for, wanted to see what you all thought before I contacted them.
    Like my avatar, took the photo myself with the free digital camera I bought from boots with all my free points! I love moneysaving.

    I know absolutely nothing about flowers to be honest. I got these for my nan for her birthday present as I thought their couldn't be a nicer present for her. She got hers on friday and I gotta say they looked... rubbish! All a mix of yellowy orangey flowers and all looking not far off dead. Really not impressed at all... Not having much knowledge of flowers or whatever what you think I should?! I was thinking maybe I should wait til next month and if they are rubbish again then asking for a refund or improved flowers or something?! I don't really know the worth of flowers and stuff but I'm pretty sure they weren't £25 worth! If they are all gonna come so ugly then I really don't want my Nan receiving crap once a month for a year. If I had paid £300 for this then I wonder if they would have been better?!

    So what does everyone reckon to their July flowers from ValueFlora ?

    My wife says, and I have to agree, they are quite simply rubbish. For a supposed £25 "bouquet", it is laughable. Even at the sale price of £8.33 it appears to be very poor value.

    I have included a photo for people to see, maybe other people's flowers were significantly nicer, but I judge this to be a waste of £100 and I won't be recomending them to anyone.

    To look at them close up they don't look all that good, DH has taken this out for me but my first one will arrive end of August. If you are not happy why not email/text them about it?

    A cheap florist company will pad out your bouquet with carnations,
    cheap chrysanthemums,
    cheap greenery and fill with lots of fluffy crepe paper and cellophane,
    looks bulky,
    in reality !!!!!!,

    I think, in hindsight, I will e-mail them tomorrow and include my photo and see if they think that I have had value for money or not.
