Do you have a business license and do you pay business tax? We're not being invasive here, we just want to maintain the integrity of the community.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer our questions.

Hi Victoria,
I have been in the floral business in some fashion or the other since I was 15. I Have a horticulture degree from University of Florida. After I graduated I started my own Florist and owned it for 12 years. I sold it and and began working as a design editor for Gift Basket Review and Progressive Florist Magazines. I do weddings on the side mainly because I have known so many people over the years and they want me to do their kids weddings. I do have a license, tax id etc. so I am totally legal. I also work part time for 1 - 800 Flowers. I have always loved the floral business and it has been a part of my life for a long time. How about you?

Welcome aboard or along for the ride...I look forward to learning a lot about gift baskets from you! What do you do for 800? if I can ask...

Hi Eddie,
A blast from the past. Hope you are doing well. It is hard to get out of this business. It gets into your blood. Good to hear from you.
