WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND THESE
FLOWERS?
MOST CUT FLOWERS COME FROM
SOUTH AMERICA.
THEN THEY COME UP THROUGH
MIAMI.
WE SEND TWO BUYERS DOWN THERE
TO INSPECT ALL OF OUR FLOWERS.
QUALITY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
US.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
THE BEST PRODUCT.
THEN IT COMES UP HERE IN
MULTIPLE TRUCKLOADS.
THEN ALL OF OUR BLOOMING PLANTS
COME FROM OUR OWN GROWING
FACILITY SOUTH OF LAKEVILLE AS
WELL AS A FEW OUT OF CANADA.
REGARDLESS IF YOU WANT FRESH
FLOWERS OR BLOOMING PLANTS, WE
HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOUR
VALENTINE.
Reporter: THIS IS ONE OF THE
MORE EXPENSE SIEVE ONES.
-- EXPENSIVE ONES.
THIS IS $500.
FLOWER?
THE MOST POPULAR FLOWER IS
ROSES.
YOU WANT TO THINK OF YOUR
VALENTINE AND WHAT THAT PERSON
LIKES.
AND WE CAN HELP YOU PICK
SOMETHING IF IT IS NOT A ROSE.
YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH ROSES.
THE TRADITIONAL ROSES COULD BE
AN ARRANGEMENT OR A BOUQUET OR
MIXED FLOWERS.
Reporter: YOU HAVE GIFTS,
TOO.
YES.
YOU CAN HAVE SOAPS AND SCENTS
IN GIFTS.
CHOCOLATES ARE ALWAYS
WONDERFUL.
YOU CAN ADD A BALLOON.
WE CAN DO CUSTOM ARRANGEMENTS
FOR YOU.
Reporter: I KNOW WE TALKED
ABOUT THE CUSTOM ARRANGE.
WE HAVE JENNIFER HUDSON -- JEN
BACK HERE.
I GAVE HER THREE CLUES.
SHE WANTED THREE CLUES TO
CREATE A BOUQUET SPECIAL FOR MY
HUSBAND.
I SAID HE LOVES THE VIKINGS,
HIS STYLE IS MODERN AND HE IS A
CITY GUY.
COMING UP IN AN HOUR, FROM
THOSE CLUES, WE'LL SHOW YOU
WHAT SHE
CREATED AND HOW SHE CAN HELP
CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR
YOUR VALENTINE.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.
NOTHING IS WRONG WITH A DOZEN
ROSES.
Reporter: EVERYONE LOVES
ROSES.
NO ONE IS GOING TO SAY,
PLEASE, I DON'T WANT THESE.
THAT IS WAY MORE SPECIFIC
DIRECTION I EVER GET TO A

WITH A DOZEN ROSES.
THOUSANDS OF LUCKY MEN AND
WOMEN WILL GET A FRESH FLORAL
ARRANGEMENT FROM BACHMAN'S

DO YOU THINK -- IS IT BETTER TO
GET IT DELIVERED OR IF YOU HAND-
DELIVER IT YOURSELF TO YOUR
VALENTINE?
Reporter: I ALWAYS LIKED
GETTING IT DELIVERED.
IT IS A FUN SURPRISE.
I SUPPOSE IT DEPENDS.
IF YOU ARE AT WORK IT IS A NICE
OPTION IF IT IS DELIVERED.
GETTING IT IN PERSON IS
SPECIAL, TOO.
GOOD NEWS.

NOT GOTTEN YOUR FLOWERS YET

ALL OF OUR PACKAGES GO THROUGH
A ROUTEING SYSTEM.

LABELED ALPHABETICALLY.
THAT IS DESIGNATED TO AN AREA
OF THE TWIN CITIES.
Reporter: TODAY IS GOING TO
BE NICE OUT.
IT IS MILD OUT.
IT IS GOING TO BE A TOP TEN
WEATHER DAY.
DOES THAT MAKE IT EASIER FOR
YOU GUYS, IN TERMS OF DELIVERY,
INSTEAD OF A SNOW STORM.
YES.
WHEN WE HAVE NICE WEATHER IT IS
EASIER TO GET AROUND THE
STREETS AND THE CITIES.
THE FLOWERS COME BETTER WHEN IT
IS NOT SO COLD.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER WHEN THE
RECIPIENT IS HOME.
IF NOT, WE'LL COME BACK AROUND.
WE WON'T LEAVE YOUR FLOWERS ON
YOUR DOORSTEP.
Reporter: I KNOW YOU WORK
WITH ALL PRICE POINTS.
LAST HOUR I SAID HELP ME GIVE
A VALENTINE TO MY HUSBAND.
