Grammy leads me to a point: where are these flowers grown? If they're grown halfway around the world, imagine all the jet fuel spilled to get them to us, 6000 miles away. That's leaving quite a large environmental footprint. Someday I hope that everyone has local access to organically-grown everything, which will reduce all this wastage. Maybe I should grow flowers myself in my yard? And live next door to my mom?

Nah.

Also, they're donating like 10% of all orders to CARE or womantowoman.org -- so good cause and nice flowers!

OK say I order organic flowers here in AZ. Where do they come from? Do they send the order to just any old flower shop? Or do we have organic flower shops here that I don't know about.
