Here are some of our readers' favorite local florists that really deliver. Feel free to share your favorites with us too! Fresh flowers always brighten my day, put a big smile on my face and make my home smell fresh. Taking proper care of your fresh flowers is vital to their longevity. Change the water daily (or at least every other day) and add the little packet of freshener that's delivered with the flowers. It really well help extend the life of the bouquet. If one isn't delivered, simply add about a tablespoon of bleach.
