Forget-Me-Not Flowers & Gifts — Local services in Jacksonville

I walked in the store set on buying some flowers and was greeted with the stench of a thousand cigarettes. I was a little taken aback, since I had been expecting to smell...ya know...flowers, but i thought i would take a look at what the shop had to offer. My reasoning was, well, I won't be here long, so I squashed the urge to immediately turn and leave. They had a nice layout and some beautiful arrangements, so I walked to the counter to talk to the florist. She was in the back doing an arrangement, but we made eye contact as I came to the counter so I expected that she would come out, or at least say something. Having worked in a flower shop myself in the past, I knew she might need a second before she came out, but i waited at the counter, watching her working on her arrangement for a full 5 minutes. She did not come out, or say anything to me. At this point I was suffocating from the cigarette smell and had to get out of there. I left empty handed and dissapointed. I will not be returning to this shop, and I will be getting my...

Count me as a very dissatisfied customer. I live in Hawaii and I wanted to send birthday flowers to a very dear friend of mine. I googled her state, town and zip code.

I realize that substitutions need to be made, but this isn't even close to what I picked out. I could have forgiven that too, it the bouquet she actually received had been an attempt at something decent. I would never recommend this place to anyone and will certainly not forget...

My daughter wanted succulents in her corsage and her dates boutonniere for prom. After going to different florists around town, we realized that no one had them and she was going to have to settle for regular flowers. Which, although they are beautiful they are not what she wanted. Upon arriving at Forget-Me-Not Flowers and Gifts we were told that they too did not have succulents. The lady then told me that if we wanted to purchase some small succulents she would be glad to make them for her though. My daughter was ecstatic! She went and picked out the succulents she wanted that day and returned with them to Forget-Me-Not. Her corsage and boutonniere were ready the morning of her prom and looked exactly like she wanted them to. Thank you for listening to your customer and working with them. You made my...
