I did a search on the web for florist in my town. I found a listing that looks like this:

4. Flower Delivery in Elliot Lake Ontario
Our flower shop is dedicated to friendly and efficient customer service, backed by our "Commitment to Excellence" guarantee. We are proudly 100% Canadian owned and operated.
Sponsored by: http://www.yourlocalflowershop.com [Found on Overture]

I went to the site and Vancouver Florist came at the bottom of my screen. SO I looked under contact and found that the site is supposed to be owned by :

c.o. (Loyalist Flowers & Gifts)
444 Main St.
PO Box 108
Bath, Ontario
Canada, K0H1G0

SO I then phone the toll free number and the nice lady there said that they are Loyalist flowers & Gifts . I asked several other questions and she said that they are the head office for florist , that they can send my order anywhere to reputable florist. I said if they had a shop in Elliot Lake and she looked it up. SHe said they had one flower shop there. So I then asked if they where the head office of that shop and she said yes. I said thank you and hang up. SHe did mention FTD to me, but their site is only Teleflora. WHy would she mention FTD is beyond me unless they send another name, because my listing does not show them a member, only Teleflora.
Maybe FTD and Teleflora should be investigating this shop now. THey could have struck a deal with Vancouver Florist to send their orders aross the country.
If you are another florist, can you check your data base to see if you have been getting many orders from this shop?

Sounds to fishy to me.
