Just what we need...

Looks to me like this fella isn't very florist-friendly now that he is out. He doesn't have my support.

The same artice was mentioned in another thread in Sept. 2005.

Fairfiled, I agree. From last year's post:

I saw that article yesterday and couldn't believe that someone who calls himself 'America's Flower Man' would hold such a low opinion of florists. Sounds like sour grapes that the St. Louis hostesses choose to trade with someone else and hold a higher opinion of a competitor's work. Who's fault is that?

These generalizations are the last thing we need from a self-described "industry spokesman".

It doesn't take dissing other professionals to empower consumers to try floral design for themselves.
