Awesome flowers

by drteed at Citysearch

This is the best florist I've found in a long time. I stumbled upon it through 1800flowers or FTD ( I can't remember which), but now I just go straight to the store myself. They always have beautiful flowers and do an awesome job arranging them. I'm horrible about picking out colors and things like that, and they've been great helping me.

I wouldn't hesitate to use these guys for any kind of flowers that I need.

Awesome orchids, you won't find in a big box store!

Everytime we travel to Dallas, we purchase a couple of orchids from Gunther's, sure they are more expensive than Home Depot's, but he has varieties you will never find in a big box store, or even in most nurseries! He always tells me the difference in care between the different varieties, and all of his plants I have purchased have flourished, unlike several I have bought at Home Depot or Lowes. It has become a landmark stop for me - something I look so forward to! I'm no orchid expert, but the way mine are growing and especially blooming, you might think that I was!! His orchids have even made it through the "scanner" at the airport, and the unfriendly airport security who did not like that I had a plant - of all things!! Next time, I'll wrap carefully and put in my suitcase, but I won't skip going to Gunther's. It is such a pleasure to visit his greenhouses and beautiful blooms, even if you don't purchase!

Orchids, orchids, orchids.. several greenhouses full, but not the best prices in town.

If you are looking for variety, Gunther's has a lot of choices when it comes to buying orchids in the DFW area. However, their prices are substantially higher than the big chains. Still, if you like to buy local, this is your place.

• Pros: Variety & service
• Cons: Located in Richardson, kind of off the beaten track..
