James and Helen Phillip opened
their first flower shop in the early 20s, and lived in an
apartment above the little flower shop they built. Today, more
than eighty years later, their children and grandchildren are
carrying on the family floral tradition with the same
old-fashioned commitment to fresh flowers, personal service, and
family togetherness.
Times have changed in those eighty years. Their flowers last even longer. Their
customers now span the globe -- ordering by phone, fax, multiple
web sites, and even satellite hook-up. Their award-winning flower
shops rank them among the top 1% of North American florists. And,
their computer systems link them to over 30,000 professional
affiliate florists worldwide. So, delivery is a snap almost
anywhere. In fact, they handle more deliveries in a single day
than "grandpa and grandma" probably could all year.
Yet, flowers remain the focal point of their family business.
Unlike electronic marketers, they're first and foremost florists.
So, while their technology has changed dramatically since the
early 20s, their expertise and commitment remains -- to deliver
the finest, fresh flowers, plants, and gift baskets available.
