Great…read moreselection of bare roots at great prices, super cymbidiums, and just a great overall selection of orchids. For the last 3 years it has gotten worse each year, and this year, I did a walk-through in about 10 minutes since they had next to nothing and what they did have were at ridiculous prices with most of the greenhouse off limits. Very disappointing. Since Paul Gripp, the soul of the place, passed away in January, I assume its days are numbered, which was the rumor going around in March. A pity.

Yeeeesh....this place is just depressing. A monument to dead passion…read more I came excited to check it out with my girlfriend, and man were we disappointed. Should be called "Santa Barbara Wooden Bench Exhibit, featuring Occasional Dying Orchid." It made me so sad to come onto Yelp and see what an amazing place it was in the past. Yeah, as I imagined, the business had a case of Pass-down; excited owners assumed their kids would love the business just as much as they did, and now the kids just seem to be wishing that a lightning strike would hit the place overnight and wipe it out. The people here are friendly, don't get me wrong; they just seem painfully aware that they are operating the shell of a formerly thriving, vibrant gem of an orchid nursery. Nobody seriously cares about the place. Every single plant there was in poor shape. $75 cattleyas with yellow leaves and wrinkled up pseudobulbs, missing information tags, blah blah blah. The only person who seemed excited to be there was the nice older grandpa who; while friendly, became seriously uncomfortable. He clearly has some severe form of dementia and will ask you where you're from 5 times in a row. We noticed another couple with a petite wife whose husband walked away to the other greenhouse, and she was being constantly followed and asked questions by the man. She felt extremely uncomfortable and I had to step in to distract him, and she waved a thank you and ran back to her husband. He was basically cornering her. The ladies working there heard and saw all this and couldn't care less. Guys, just go to Gallup Stribling, or Cal-Orchid, if you can get the cantankerous old lady there to give you the time of day, let alone make an appointment to see their stock (she thinks they're a botanical country club.) But PLEASE, don't waste your time here! Especially if you're in town for the yearly orchid show. There's much better places in town for orchids.

The florals were stunning, thoughtfully designed, and truly elevated the entire look and feel of our wedding. Every bouquet, arrangement, and detail was flawless--fresh, elegant, and perfectly curated. I received so many compliments from guests, and I honestly couldn't stop admiring them myself. Beyond the incredible talent, the Blue Blossoms team was professional, kind, responsive, and a calming presence during the planning process (which is priceless for a bride!). If you're looking for florals that feel intentional, luxurious, and full of heart, Blue Blossoms is it. I'm beyond grateful to Kiara and her team for bringing so much beauty to one of the most special days of our lives. Highly, highly recommend

My son purchased flowers for his girlfriend to ask her to be his valentine to be delivered on…read moreFebruary 9th. Not only did they NOT deliver the flowers on the 9th, but he received no call, no email or text stating that they would not be delivering them on the day he chose for them to be delivered. His girlfriend was going out of town the next day, so the 9th was the only day to be delivered where she could receive them. Regardless, he chose a delivery date and they did not deliver them. The next morning, she had already left for out of town and he was notified by her roommate that the flowers were delivered the NEXT DAY. Still, no phone call, no email or heads up that they were not delivered on the day he chose but took it upon themselves to deliver it when they felt like it. Completely unprofessional! Do NOT BUY FLOWERS FROM THEM! UPDATE: I called and spoke with the young girl who said she delivered them herself. She said that she delivered them at 8pm that night, but that she forgot to deliver them and went home and "did her thing" and then delivered them, although his girlfriend was home during that time and did not see them, so we know she delivered them on her way to work the next morning and tried to cover for herself. Either way, the flowers were left in her car all night long. Also, the flowers look nothing like the photo and my 9 year old could have done a better job.

Instead, a day late, she got only bare glad spikes with no blooms, nothing else. Not worth $20. They ghosted her request to deliver what they promised, except to Imply they weren't inclined to do anything. Just Flowers, the internet processor that sent them the order, agreed this was wrong and tried unsuccessfully to have them correct the problem. Then, Just Flowers took over and found another florist to deliver on short notice the beautiful arrangement I had ordered (at no charge!). 5 Stars to Just Flowers!
