Hi There !

I need to buy 80-120 tulips.  (Not so much for V-Day, as to get me out
of the dog house.)

Can be delivered either by a florist or FedEx.
Goal is to get lots of flowers (tulips or otherwise)...cheap.

Plan B:   if I cannot buy "bulk" flowers, then
perhaps a supplier of special arrangements (e.g., Hawaiian, etc.).

A 5-star answer would be 3 web sites.
(Please note that links to 3 "normal" florists would not be helpful.)

All comments greatly appreciated !


Thanks.
ron

Wow, Ron, that is a shipload of tulips! Below are my best suggestions.

Last Valentine's Day, a friend of mine gave his ladylove the "Grand
Box" of 120 fresh tulips from Flowerbud.com; now they are engaged.
This website comes highly recommended by my friend and his fiancée:

Wow, pinkfreud.  
120 tulips gets you an engagement?
What can you get for 240?

heh  heh  heh

Outstanding answer, as always.
She's actually Finnish, not Dutch.
If the tulips don't work, I'll switch to reindeer.

Thanks !

Ron,

Thanx for the five stars!

I just noticed something. I hope the Google AdWords advertisements at
the top of the page are not a bad omen. They are all for funeral
flowers.

Maybe, just to be safe, you better go with the reindeer, eh? :-D

Hi Pink,

If the tulips don't get me out of the dog house, 
she may insist on funeral flowers as the logical next step...
