Jackson Heights Life

while their choice isn't broad at all, the roses, daisies and poms at the deli @ 76 and 37 are inexpensive and fresh enough that i always get over a week from them.

It is a bit of a schlep -- but the best deal in town is the bodega on 37th Ave and like 94th or 95th on the northern side of the street.  2 dozen fresh roses (many different colors to choose from) for $9 last time I went in the summer. Yes, $9 for two dozen!

Ultima can be hit or miss on 37th Ave and 80th (?) street.  I used to be a big fan but last few times it wasn't really doing it for me.

Also, the grocery store on Northern and 87th has a flower vendor out front.  They are pretty descent and affordable.  I make my own bouquets and he wraps them up for me.  

Sadly, I am not really into baby's breath and carnations otherwise I would be in luck.
