How much would you pay for these flowers?

[fmama]

AIBU to think that lovely as this bunch of flowers is, there is a certain price beyond which makes them a plain rip off? What would you have paid for this? First photo shows how it arrived from the florist - priced for 10 stems+ foliage. Jar not included. Would like to know what others think. Thank you!

£25-30

[MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry]

I wouldn’t.

[MrsSkylerWhite]

Probably 3.99 in Aldi.
Honestly if you paid more, you were fleeced.

(As an aside - sorry OP - does everyone know that B&M now does flower deliveries? They’re fantastic. Sent mum 50 roses when she was recuperating. Various colours and foliage. Ordered at 10pm, they arrived before 11am next day. £39 inc. delivery. 50 roses! B&M is not printed on the packaging.)

£25-£30. There's lots of cheap filler in that bunch.

[Thedogscollar]

I've seen better in Tesco for a tenner. I'd not pay anymore than that for them as not many flowers more foliage.
Who ever paid for these has been ripped off.

Serenata (sp????)

£5-8 maybe.
I suspect the answer is £12 though at £1 per stem plus foliage.

£25-30

Thank you for your guess - I think yours is quite reasonable, considering Central London florist. Also slightly biased because I do love anemones.

[yoyo1234]

Assuming you are paying maybe £5 for delivery maybe £20-25 total.

@MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry

I wouldn’t.

Oh dear, why not? Do you grow them perchance? (Lucky you!)

[TooWicked]

£10 in Tesco

[KitKat1985]

£10. They look like a supermarket bunch?

[MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry]

Because they look shit! that’s why. You don’t have to grow them to see that.

[KristinAmandaThomas]

From a florist I’d expect them to be £25-30, from M&S £15 and Tesco maybe £12. I think you’ve crammed them in the jar a bit, in a wider necked vase they’d look more special and the actual blooms would be more visible instead of half hidden by the foliage.

I'd say £30 to £40 from a florist and delivered.

Oh for the shame of it - this is exactly how it was arranged by the florist, who took an awful long time - think Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually - full of sales patter. She tied it with twine, this is how she deemed fit, I simply removed the wrapping and sat them in the jar.

Central London florist? £45?

[Pinkfluffyunicornsandrainbows]

I'd be upset if i paid anymore than £5 for them tbh.

£45 including delivery? How much would you expect the delivery charge to be? Thanks!

[Grumpsy]

I’m reiterating that I wouldn’t- that look like a cheap supermarket bunch

I wish there's an Aldi near us! I know they're £5 for 10 stems at M&S (when in season) - even though they'll just be cut stems as opposed to a tied bouquet... not that this particular bouquet appears to have required much "bouquetry" skills either! Thanks!

Jeez, glad we no longer live in London.
They’re just not worth receiving,

[Forion]

There's hardly any flowers and there's too much greenery. They're only worth about £10 I reckon.

[Sciurus83]

£25 delivered from a florist. Anemones aren't cheap flowers, but there is a lot of foliage. I think supermarkets skew our thinking on how much flowers cost a bit, best way is to get some of the fancy stuff from the florist then pad it out with supermarket so you can get a lot of lovely arrangements without breaking the bank
