Prices

I think the wholesalers are taking the p... I have just paid £2.09 for pink orientals and 75p for Gerbera's. I am not happy paying these prices, I think I will have to shop at the supermarket to be able to make a profit

i was on about this the other day, stupid it makes me sooooooooooooooo mad... they say the growers hold the stuff back so they can get more when there is nowt around and then get more when they know the demand is there... bet they arn't this much in holland, i went in nov and the floating flower mrkt had full wraps of tulips on for £5.00 i can not buy them for that. 100 dutch tulips and they had the same ticket on as mine, from the same grower....!!!!!
