Flowers?

Anyone  know of a place to buy flowers in or near Davis Square.? (not crazy expensive flowers....)  And/or does the Shaw's Market @ Porter carry a decent line of flowers? Thanks!

there's a florist at Willow & Highland, but I'm forgetting the name.

the Porter Square location is ok, but they're still grocery flowers, and will die in 3 days.

There is also Flowers on the Avenue, on Somerville Ave., just a 2m walk south of Porter. I've never bought from them, but the people are really lovely.

thank you. I know nothing else about them except they have a rubber duck planter in the window that I'd like to own ;-)

Definitely go with Murphy's!!! They'll put together gorgeous bouquets no matter your price range. It's so much nicer getting flowers locally than spending crazy cash on a "bouquet" via flowers.com etc. too.I'm always delighted with Murphy's.

Nellie's Wild Flowers on Holland does lovely flowers. When I've had flowers from them, they lasted a long time.

They've always done lovely ones for us!

It'd help if the OP identified what "crazy expensive" meant to her.

I third this recommendation - my favorite flowers come from Nellie's.

Edited to add: At Nellie's you can just say how much you want to spend and give a general idea of colors/flowers you like and get an awesome arrangement.

Murphy's has a website. You should google them. That will give you an idea of their prices. Also Shaws sed to have flowers in a walk in refrigerator. It smelled so good in there. I'm not 100% sure if they still have that though but they might and they do still sell flowers.
