flower delivery recs

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>i'm not in the country, and need to send flowers to my partner for their birthday. i'm on a tight budget (ofc williing to spend, but can only do so much) - anyone know of any affordable places? ik that's a relative term for nyc, but any recommendations are welcome!<br/> alternatively, if anyone has tried things that are good substitutes for flowers, i'm open to suggestions!</p> <p>EDIT: based on comments, adding some more info. my partner is in chinatown (near delancey-essex), and the last time i got them flowers from their neighborhood, they were $20/stem lol. i used to live in nyc, so i know the neighborhood, but i think the more affordable stuff isn't really possible to order online. also, i love plantshed but it's way above my budget. grocery stores are a nice idea (thank you!) but those flowers never look very nice or fresh :/</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Dull-Independent6895"> /u/Dull-Independent6895 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/comments/1sqohyz/flower_delivery_recs/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/comments/1sqohyz/flower_delivery_recs/">[comments]</a></span>
