> [@Tapioca\_Dextrin](#): > > The Wilted Rose. That might work for something gothic, but it doesn’t (IMHO) work for a floral store where you still need to give the impression that everything is fresh. I’d imagine walking in and finding dried flowers, gothic candles, things with spikes on them etc. But probably not fresh cut flowers. We deal with a food service company called Midwest Perishables. Again, IMHO, all that says is “Everything we sell goes bad”. Never liked the name. ---
