In the concrete jungle that is L.A. - there is certainly a need to see nature and flowers every so often. With Valentine's Day coming up in less than a month that need is going to skyrocket, but the question is - where do you go to get them?

There are hundreds of florists all over the Los Angeles area - some of which have no online presence. With all of these florists having different ways of doing business, price ranges, arrangements, and customer bases - how are consumers able to see which businesses are the right one for our needs?

I am personally clueless when it comes to the local scene and I try to do all of my flower shopping with national companies such as TeleFlora who have a great reputation and a quality guarantee. As I get older, however, I feel that I should be giving back to my local community - I just wish there was a way to get more information about the local florists that is unbiased and trustworthy. Anyone know where I should start to look?
