Found this little gem at the Sarasota Farmer Market. Buckets of flowe lr stems to choose from to make your own bouquets on site. Also have them already made if you prefer to have it done for you. Prices reasonable and flowers gorgeous.

This was the first time my daughter from New York sent me Mother's Day flowers from Suncoast Florist and I was very pleased with the customer service and how they handled a small glitch in the order. They are very courteous, professional and I will be using their services in the future as a full time Sarasota resident. Thank you to Jeff and his staff! I highly recommend this business. ~Andrea Martone, Sarasota

We give Suncoast Florist a 5-star rating. The day before Mothers Day, we missed a flower delivery. They were in touch with our family to let them know they could not deliver the flowers but told them they would attempt a delivery on Monday. Although they were closed on Monday because they were completely out of flowers, they delivered our flower arrangement. The flower arrangement was gorgeous. We highly recommend this florist.

The bouquet of peonies were unbelievably stunning. My mother was so thrilled. Thank you so much for correcting the situation and making an effort to get them to her in time for Mothers Day. I couldnt be happier and I will absolutely order again.
