Calla prices
Hi,

I nearly fell of the dutch van yesterday, quoted £6 a stem for crystal blush.

All his other stock was more or less as usual, has anyone else had a massive price increase on anything.

It was only the crystal blush variety that was so high in price.

yes we had that last week.
we had a client that specially ordered the white peonies. and we had to do it free because of a problem she had with somehting else..
anyways that was the price!!!!

why does this happen?

regarding callas we once had a nightmare story with that..
lady ordered whole wedidng of callas and we quoted her a price based on the normal selling price of a calla.. came to pick up the flowers from our dutchmanand the price of the calla had shot up to nearly double !! all our profits down the drain!!!!
