A little Morrisons moan...

Mum bought a gorgeous bunch of roses from Morrisons yesterday morning, by 1pm she had them in a vase in the living room and had added the flower food to the water. By 7pm every flower was dead.

I have never known anything like it, so I checked the water etc and nothing is amiss. I even asked if she had washed the vase in anything or perhaps sprayed something near them, but she hasn't.

I cant get back up to Morrisons now until the end of the week so i guess I'll have to take a photo of the roses to CS when I go. But I really would have expected a bunch of flowers to last longer than 6 hours :mad:

    Give them a call and explain what happened and how you can't get back there until next week. So they'll know to expect you.

    Morrisons flowers are usually fairly good lasting a week or more. Cant believe they died in hours :(

    Tesco lillies used to be fabulous but they seem to have gone downhill a bit as well.
