    I ordered 2 ‘Little Miss Rosalind’ plants for my Parents in honour of my father’s sister Rosalind who died unexpectedly last week. This was the grateful message I received from my father yesterday.
    ‘On opening the flower delivery parcel, there was an extra plant inside, apparently the Nursery had put in an extra gift, for Christmas, which was a lovely surprise. It’s a little plant called Chocolate Cosmos, when flowering the scent smells of sweet chocolate , I thought you would like to know the excellent service they provided. The other two plants (Little Miss Rosalind) are in great condition’
    Thank you for delivering some brightness and excellent service at a very difficult time.
