Welcome to Chlorophyllosophy

It is our intention to be up front and honest about our services. Today’s online shopping experience is filled with flower brokers and order gatherers, services that don’t make or deliver the items they represent; they merely take a percentage of the price and pass the order on to someone else to fill. This practice leads to a lot of customer disappointment.

Myer the Florist Inc. is, in a way, the embodiment of the “American Dream.” We are people with the freedom and ability to do what we like most, and in so doing, serve the community we live in by providing work and services for our neighbors. We are creative people that have been able to meet the needs of our population for 58 years. We know our industry inside and out.

The current trend to on line shopping has led the greedy order gatherers to come up with “recipe” or “formula” designs to the point that the creativity and art of design has been eliminated and what is being delivered are overpriced “McFlowers.”

Another problem with the flower brokers is, they promise everything, but do nothing themselves. To them, all flowers, all colors, all containers are always available, as long as they put in a disclaimer that some substitution may occur. The fact is, substitution will always occur. No real florist can possibly have enough inventory to cover all the designs these brokers advertise. Teleflora currently has over 438 web recipes they promise they can get delivered the same day they are ordered. Not likely.

It’s not our purpose here to put down an industry that provides our livelihood but to alert you to the misrepresentation of our industry on the internet.

We do want to let you know that every order placed with us is important. Flowers are sent for many reasons, but they are always an act of sentiment, or good will. It is an honor to be called on, to help someone accomplish a noble desire. It is our privilege to have been able to spend our lives serving this end. It is our wish to continue to do so and to make it easier for you, our customers, to place your orders on this web site, 24 hours a day, with peace of mind, knowing that we will make every effort to express your sentiment with floral artistry, capturing the flavor of the design you select, with the best materials available to us.
