Good luck with that color!
Love when websites are exclusionary. I have never seen this message before, but I do still use IE6 ...
okay who's color blind? (I know it tends to run more in men :rofl: )
They don't look like any lavender alstromeria I've ever seen.

I'd call it lavender too, but it's not found in nature. Have fun with getting that.
My take on it:
For the love of hideous color combinations! We have selected six roses that will never match the impossible to find in nature, neon lavender alstromeria, that really looks nothing like lilies, to create this horrid bouquet. When it arrives, it will not look much like the picture, because florists don't get alstromeria in this shade, and if the alstromeria is as wide open on every stem as we show here, it probably will not last the guaranteed seven days we offer on the next page. It comes with a complimentary personalized gift message, formally known as "what would you like to say on your card?" If you are lucky enough to live in a zip code with an FTD florist, you should receive a properly styled arrangement, if not be sure to push all the flowers to the front side of the vase, otherwise it may look sparse.
Just a little cranky here today.

It looks like the work of Photoshop.
Teleflora did the same thing to their tulips last year. Same, exact arrangement, just different colored heads.

Hmm....I think the name says it all....THEY ARE LIARS!!!!!
'Purple Passion Lily and Rose Bouquet'
1: I do not think that those roses are ever called purple....yes I know they are known to be more purple...but to mean delilah roses are always like a heavy dusty pink.
2: Alstromeria is from the lily family...I understand that...but they are not classed as lilies! Well down under anyways.
Yes my spat for the day....just other company making out that the florists are the 'culprits'.

OH, this is a common saying among many of the OG's. The customer generraly has no idea that asiatic lilies and peruvian lilies and oriental lilys are quite different. The majority of people when hearing the word lily get the picture of an orange tiger lily in their head or equate it with a smell they don't like. Alstromaria is definately what is conjured up in their mind. I have dealt with many, mnay complaints about this from people who call 800-flowers and tell the operator they want lilies sent and they get a vase of 20 alstro...They are usually not happy and I have to explain what they bought and direct them back to 800 simply because I didn't do the selling, I politely explain the difference between lilies and peruvian lilies, I then explain my contract with 800-flowers and that if they are not happy with the quality or design, I would be happy to pick it up and give them what they want to the full value, but that lilies are much more expensive and tell them what they will get for the money spent on peruvians. They usually decline becaue now it appears to be not enough flowers. I then instruct them to call 800 and explain what they were expecting and what they sere sold did not match up....Not sure where they get there, but I have done my part and offered what I could on my end..
