花店—Flower Shop

 Last week, I went to a flower shop to buy some flowers for several occasions¹. When I went into the flower shop, I was surprised at the wide variety of flowers from which to choose. The florist² told me that she could arrange beautiful bouquets³ of flowers for just about any event. For starters, I ordered some roses for wife's birthday, and I asked the florist to deliver them, along with a balloon and a birthday card. I was also planning to attend the funeral of a dear friend, so I also ordered a floral arrangement to express my condolences to the family. Finally, I bought some nice cut flowers for my mom who has been ill recently, and I wanted to cheer her up. I delivered them myself along with a get-well card. The florist told me that the shop had their own Website, so I might order flowers online next time.
