I don't want to have to go into someone's backyard. I'm rather looking for a cool flower shop this time around in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. The last place I went to had flowers that were already really old.
Where do I get great flowers in Los Angeles?
I would suggest that you Google "Farmers Markets" in your area. All Farmers Markets have fresh cut flowers to sell. Buy them as early in the morning as you can. Also most Costco stores are a good place to buy since they have a lot of turnover (so flowers are fresh). Prices are good in both places!!
Flower shops buy flowers in advance of orders, so you never know how fresh they are!!
Good Luck!!
