Hi and thank you for your interest in our community.
Please tell us more about you and your business. For example do you have a website, do you pay business taxes, are you a full service flower shop?
Cherrie is a great recommendation but we do need to know more.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.

These questions are to confirm that you really a flower shop. We have had some folks try to get in here who were less than stellar...please do not take offense to Victoria quetions. She heads the "new member" committee....
However, should you chose not to answer you are certainly welcome to do that as well...however you will not be able to read or post...this is a valuable forum, it would be a shame if you did not join of you are a Real Florist. There is much to learn..and usually we speak kindly to one another...unless we talk about politics...then sometimes our best behavior leaves the room.

A florist "in business" pays business taxes, has "business" licenses, pays "business" insurances, has correct refrigeration and storage areas for their product and operates legally within their towns zoning laws. Simple questions, simple answers if you chose.

Part of what makes one a professional florist is to conduct oneself in a professional manner.
If you are a professional, you would be more than happy to share your general business information with others, especially since you are asking to be a part of a community who has the ability to include you or exclude you.
If you are a hobbyist, making pretty things out of your home, in your spare time, and not have a business license this is not the community for you.
There are lots of people in our community that work out of their home, studio or a commercial building. All of these people, however, are professionals.

Some of the questions asked are as a result of unfortunate experiences from past members or applicants.
We strive to keep this community a strong hold for business professionals, if you are voted in, you will benefit from the due diligence of the members. Hopefully you too will participate in the process of maintaining the integrity of this forum.
My questions were asked in a polite fashion and with a genuine interest in you and your business. It is your choice to answer or not.
Kind regards.

I am usually quick to give someone the benefit of the doubt (and I am holding my vote for now) but, if you are applying for membership to a professional forum, I would at least expect professional cunduct until we get to know you.
You are all far more patient than I. Your kindness has made me hold my vote for now.
I am remembering the line from 16 Candles..."nice attitude, man!!!"

Am I the only one that thinks this, but why is everyone referring folks that work out of there homes here? I don't get it? Maybe because I have been sick for days now??? I say no.... Because no one is going to pick on Victoria, Sorry Honey chic,,,,,,,Victoria, is a great person, and I think ya need to get some back bone,,,,
Love ya Victoria...
Love ya Victoria...

Personally I tried very hard to post a "nice" response to her rude statement...it was all I could do not to rip her throat out when she talked like that to Lady V...so thanks for letting me know I wasn't the only one...so my vote is "no" as well...
