Bloomist Launches

Megan Kamil and her fellow GSB partners recently launched their new flower ordering site after being underwhelmed with the offerings they found online. They wanted to buy local, not corporate. And they wanted to know exactly what they were getting. They launched Bloomist to allow you to browse and buy flower arrangements from local florists in the Los Angeles area and most San Francisco Bay Areas.

A Better Arrangement
Because local florists don't ship arrangements through expensive services like UPS or FedEx, consumers can get a better bang for their buck by using Bloomist to send flowers to friends, family and loved ones. They are just getting going and have the site in beta. If you want to send flowers to someone in LA or SF Bay, give them a try. They'll give you a great experience, and they'd really appreciate the feedback.
