Graser's Florist at 399 Amherst Street, Buffalo, New York.

I stopped to Spars a dozen times and have never been in Graser's Florist. Today seemed like the perfect day.

I asked if they had any small bouquets and the owner offered he always has $12.99 cash and carry special. For $13, it was full and pretty impressive, but I let him know I was looking to spend a little less and get just a few flowers as a surprise. He asked my budget (~$5), went into the back room and came out with the perfect small arrangement of about a dozen mixed flowers and greenery. Some hadn't even bloomed yet. Cashing out it wasn't even $5.00.

I agree with Alex, let him know what you're looking for and he'll make it happen. Great local business!
