Good online flowers sites

I have been chosen to order the flowers for delivery for this year's secretary's day (aka administrative assistant day).

I was planning to just go to 1-800-Flowers.com, but in this age of fatwallets and internet coupons, I thought I would check here first to make sure that there is not a better option for quality flowers for cheap.

Is everyone you are ordering from local? If so, you might be better off contacting a local florist, 1-800-Flowers just assigns your order to a local florist and charges you an additional fee for their service. If you go local, you might be able to snag a "high volume discount" if you are ordering multiple arrangements.

ps - send me one while you are at it!

I've had success with http://montereyrose.com/. Not for my secretary, of course.

I concur....

Of course, when you get special promotions in your email, you also get offers for Omaha Steaks...

I've only used 1-800-flowers and they've worked well, it seemed a bit on the pricey side though. They just just call and coordinate with someone local to you anyways, so it may be dependant on that.
