I found a nice floral arrangement in a shop today but it is a bit more extravagant than the simple bouquets I’m used to buying so I thought I might trouble some of you for your opinions as to what you feel would be a reasonable price for a florist to charge for this arrangement: http://i.imgur.com/TDKgX.jpg
I would estimate the basket is about 1 meter in length.
Oh you’re getting ripped off, all right. Just not any worse than anyone else buying flowers :
I kid though. It’s easy to point out the supposed lunacy of paying 300 EUROS for something as ephemeral as a basket of flowers, but it’s also easy to overlook the costs involved in rearing, transporting, and arranging a delicate, highly perishable object. It’s not like your average florist is being chauffeured around in their Rolls Royce.
