These were delivered absolutely gorgeous!! Only a few were open and they are all opening very slowly which means they will last much longer. My house smells amazing and I just can't get enough of these flowers. It came with 2 packets of plant food, instructions and a large vase. These are much larger than I anticipated, to my luck. I will keep the vase and just order the flowers next time. It gives you a few dollars off.
EDIT: PULL THE MIDDLE PART (ANTHER) OF THE FLOWERS OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY ALLERGIES. Day 5 after they all opened, my grandmother got really sick and my throat started closing up and I had to put them outside.
Florists usually do this!!
Bought these after someone reminded me a week before mothers day that I indeed need to get my mom something. So I checked amazon and here I am. I was a little skeptical of whether or not these flowers would be a good fit. Didnt know how fast these would bloom or if they would come dead. These lilies take a while to get going. They dont bloom fast, by the 5 day they really started opening up. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves.
Normally these are beautiful. I buy them regularly. This time, however, the stems are sticking out awkwardly, so they don't look very pretty. I am somewhat disappointed. I had said I was disappointed earlier but they replaced the lily bunch for free, and they are absolutely beautiful. Customer service acted quickly to correct the problem
If you want to see what the Stargazer Lily Bunch looks like in real life you can go to the Google owned video sharing website and look up video hlVzPJmekXQ . Go to the 9:32 mark in the video and you will see me presenting the Stargazer Lily Bunch bouquet. I ordered this bouquet to be showcased on a Google Plus hangout I did about flower arrangements that could be ordered from Amazon.com for Valentine's Day.
This bouquet is SHIPPED, not delivered. That means your recipient has to cut open a shipping box, cut the flowers out of the packaging and add water to the included vase. If you want to see exactly how these flowers look when they arrive at the recipient's address you can go to the video I indicated above and look at the beginning of the video where I unbox some tulips that were packaged the exact same way as the Stargazer Lily Bunchbouquet.
It says 8 stems, and that is true, but each stem has multiple lillies. The lillies are smaller than what I typically see in flower shops but that makes the bouquet fuller. In the video the lillies are mostly closed but within three days of being at my house they had all opened and they looked lovely. The bouquet is quite large. Too big, I would say, for someone's cubicle at the office. The person would have to be a receptionist at the front desk with an entire counter on which to put the flowers or someone with an actual office with a big desk.
Be sure to put a paper towel under the bouquet because the orange pollen dust drops from the flowers and will stain fabric. The flowers lasted three weeks with maintenance.
When I received these, they were just green pods. Pretty ugly to be honest. However, my wife followed the directions and a week later, those green pods opened into a beautiful display. Yeah, I would definitely order these again but I might order a week in advance and hide them to give them time to bloom. Timing is hard. They were shipped and received on schedule so really nothing here to complain about. Go ahead and order them, you will not be disappointed (eventually)! :-)

Description
Send this beautiful stargazer bouquet to friends, family and loved ones and a burst of colors will bloom before their eyes. Shipped in bud form, these vibrant blooms are guaranteed to stay fresh for at least seven days! These beauties are also very fragrant and will brighten up up anyone's day!
I've bought these twice now. Each time they last 3 to 6 weeks for me. The smell from them is amazing and it spreads further than around the plant. My living room, dining and kitchen take up 600 sq. ft. You can smell the flower across the whole floor. They bud out when you first buy them so you can watch them slowly bloom. I never thought the best flowers I bought would come in the mail!
Very nice blooms! Came in bud form, and they didn't all open within the first 3 days, but most of them did. It was still freezing here at the time, so that could have had something to do with it. They lasted for a little bit over 2 weeks with proper care and maintenance. They were starting to get pretty wilty after that, though. We had one stem (3 buds) that didn't actually bloom at all, but the overall product was still very good.
Benchmark Bouquet, You did good! I sent flowers to my mom and mother-in-law for Valentines day. The flowers arrived on time and they were fresh and looked great! Last year they were late and I was not so happy. Thanks for helping to make this a great day for the moms. I think because I didn't wait until the last minute to order, I had a better experience. So, based on this year, I highly recommend this company.
Flowers were extremely well packaged. Bundled nicely with decorative paper and plastic sleeve, as expected. Stems fresh in a moisture pack. Bouquet secured with a zip tie in a very rigid, heavy duty box. Disappointed that not a single flower bud is even close to opening. I'm sure they will be beautiful in several days. Since they were ordered for and delivered on Valentine's day, they missed the mark. I would however still do business with Benchmark since they did deliver a quality product, well packaged, on time.
I've never used Amazon for fresh flower delivery before, but decided to give it a try, the other on line flower places are so expensive. I ordered these for my mom for Mother's day on Thursday - they were delivered the very next day. They were buds, but when put in water they started to open beautifully. My mom was so happy with them and the picture she sent was beautiful - will definitely order again.
