A shipment of white hydrangeas from Oregon arrived completely brown and wilted
Got a delivery for a big anniversary order yesterday, opened the box and every single stem was a total loss. Spent the next 4 hours on the phone with the grower, then scrambling to find a local supplier who had enough stock. Ended up driving to three different wholesalers across the city to piece together what I needed. Has anyone else had a supplier issue this bad with a specific flower type?

Ugh, hydrangeas are the worst for that. I started adding a cold pack to any box with them in the summer, it helps a bit.

Actually, that sounds like a logistics problem more than a flower problem. The grower probably packed them fine but the shipping carrier left the box somewhere hot. You can't really blame the supplier for that last leg of the trip.

Right, and here I am thinking I'm a professional just because I can successfully keep a houseplant alive for a month. Meanwhile the poor hydrangea is out there getting heat stroke in a delivery truck.
