My in-laws live in Cape Coral, Florida and any time we need to buy flower arrangements for them, we always call Su Ellen Floral Company. My husband did so before we were married and since we've been married we have continued to buy them from Su Ellen. Recently, we bought what may be the last flower arrangement we buy for my mother-in-law and we're not sure she will even see it.
We visited my mother-in-law three days before she died because we were told she was not doing very well and not likely to live long. We found her semi-conscious; eating little, unaware of our being there to visit and tell her she was loved.
Near to tears at the sudden turn for the worse from our previous visit a couple weeks prior, we explained her situation to Su Ellen and asked her to make us a Christmas tree, with my mother-in-law's favorite color, pink. I looked around the shop extensively decorated for Christmas for angels but wasn't able to find them, but then I found two matching doves and asked that they be used on the tree.
In her display case, the Su Ellen Floral Company had several trees--one artificial stood on the counter, and two made from pruned branches as floral arrangements that last a long time. We chose to use live box branches.
The cost for the standard tree was $70 and was rather average looking, so I asked her if she could use fresh flowers and she said, "Yes, all the flowers they put in an arrangement were attached to a container with foam so would last well."
I told Su Ellen, "Use orchids and carnations".
Su Ellen said, "White orchids and red carnations?"
And I said, "No, pink".
She asked, "Do you want roses? I have pink roses I could put at the top where they'd be seen" and I said "Yes".
Su Ellen asked, "Gold?" I nodded.
"And of course lighted?"
I said, "Yes."
The cost for the flower arrangement at Su Ellen's Floral Company changed to $100 and was delivered that day by 5pm. Su Ellen created us an amazing tree (see the photograph).
Su Ellen Floral Company in Cape Coral, Florida always makes flower arrangements where you mention a few specific flower types then my mother-in-law calls back and says, "Wow, these flower as so beautiful and there are so many". And Su Ellen has always listened to what we want with sympathy for the many difficulties my mother-in-law has faced--the flower arrangement when Jeanne had her hip replacement, and pacemaker and the balloon we took to my father-in-law just before he died.
Su Ellen Floral Company offers very personal, timely service, for a very reasonable price and always exceeds our expectations.

What a lovely description of how Su Ellen's Floral Company helped you express your love and care. Hugs for being a wonderful person:)
I am sorry for your loss; it's good that this company was so sensitive and helpful to you at a difficult time.
It's nice that you acknowledged the fine service of this merchant and floral designer.
Great article and a nice keepsake for the family. The color scheme is pretty. Carnations are one of my favorite flowers because they are pretty and have such a heavenly fragrance.
well written - thank you
