The interent has become a place for many to lose money quickly.
Ordering flowers from reputable and non-reputable sites seem to be
a problem. The most secure way to make sure you do not get taken is to
call your locally owned Florist and talk to real Florist small business
personnel and Designers to verify secure flower ordering. Try to stay away
from the order-gathers like FTD.com, Teleflora.com, 800-Flowers and the
many marketers who try and act like they will make and send your flowers
themselves. All they are is a call center with no direct connection
to the flower making process.

Here is a vid on morning show explaining how to be careful:
