I am looking for suggestions for the best local florist to buy Valentine's Day flowers. I hope to find something better (and cheaper) than ordering via internet delivery. My wife prefers tulips over roses, so on internet it would come to about $40 (s&h included) for assort. of 20 tulips. Thanks! |

I've had good luck with Gelfken's Florist on Ridgewood Road. |

My husband always buys me flowers at Jerry Rose. The florist on Baker Street also looks very nice. |

Sunny and great! It was about 80 every day, cool and comfortable at night. I am always happy to get back to Maplewood though -- life moves way too slow down there. Let's get together soon. |

if you just want tulips, as you mention in your original post, try Kings in Short Hills or Whole Foods. You will have a pretty good color selection and I think Kings in Short Hills at least has a counter where they may even wrap them a little more nicely than in the plain old celophane. |

If Kings or other marketS don't have what you'd like, check with Patina's on Springfield Avenue. DON'T WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY. TomR. |

The lady florist on Baker Street is wonderful. Great personality, and can supply your need regardless of weirdness, personalness. Will talk flowers, can be cheap if you need to be. I go get a fix every couple of weeks... |

I like Patina Florist on Springfield Avenue in Maplewood. They are not too expensive and do a beautiful job. |

Stephen put together a really very lovely, creative holiday centerpiece for us in December. It was beautiful! |

We've used Patina's a couple of times and have not been disappointed. Their floral arrangements for mother's day were absolutely beautiful. |
