Buffalo Clover is my go to shop for gifts. I always find something perfect for all the ladies in my life, family and friends. Their prices are great, so I usually pick up a little something for myself as well. There are beautiful handmade items like jewelry and bags and the clothes they carry are super comfy and cute. Highly recommend!

(Funny how many of the owners friends are writing reviews the same day I write mine. 🤣)

I really wanted to love this shop. I specifically chose to support a local florist over grocery store flowers, expecting higher quality blooms and better service. Instead, I received an expensive Valentine’s Day bouquet that started wilting rapidly after just 4 days.

When I emailed the florist, I got a dismissive response—no offer to see photos, no attempt to understand the issue. Instead, I was basically told, “flowers are a natural product and vary in lifespan.” and if I wanted longer lasting flowers, I should order carnations next time. (😳Carnations?!)

I drove to the shop, hoping that if the florist saw the flowers in person, she would see that there is clearly an issue. Instead, she doubled down on deflecting responsibility and making excuses.

She told me, again, that if I wanted flowers to last, I should stick to carnations. Offended, that I was told AGAIN to order carnations, I flat out asked her if she truly believes that the only option for longevity past 4 days is carnations? She confidently said, yes. 🤯 Wow... That baffling response is similar to how the entire experience went down.

📸 Please see the photos—I was genuinely stunned when she insisted that dying flowers looked fine, then scolded me for not yet removing "the dead" flowers. She ignored visible wilting and browning on hardy flowers, acting as if it wasn’t there. She kept repeating: “this is just how flowers behave, 🤷🏻‍♀️I don't know what to tell you, I'm telling you the truth."

She even suggested that maybe fresh flowers "weren’t a good choice for me". Excuse me? 😳 I was so taken aback and insulted. I don’t expect flowers to last forever, but a "deluxe premium bouquet" should not start deteriorating after just a few days. She wasn’t just dismissing my complaint—she was gaslighting me into thinking I was wrong for expecting better.

I left the shop (in tears, by the way) feeling brushed off and discarded. Truly, if she had acknowledged the issue or even shown an ounce of empathy, I wouldn’t be writing this review.

It would have been SO easy for her to offer real customer service and say: "Awww yeah, peonies go quick! Here, let's trim back some of these dying petals, let's look at the stems and see if anything needs more trimming. By the way, do you have flower food? Here's a scoop for your vase. By the way, make sure to use room temperature water if you can (or cold water, ice cubes, idk, I'm not a florist). Here, I grabbed a fresh peony to add, but they have a short lifespan—you may opt for hardier flowers like carnations or lilies next time."

You can see in my photos that the peonies are not the only issue, (though that's all the owner wanted to focus on). It’s literally not even about the flowers at this point. It’s appalling how I was treated and talked down to. I was made to feel like I was crazy and uneducated because “all flowers die”. (yeah but Birds of paradise and Red gingers don't start to die in the first 4 days, y'all)

The storefront itself is beautiful and well curated, I've shopped it many times. The arrangement was pretty on arrival, but not worth the nearly $300 price tag to begin dying so quickly. 😬 I'll stick to HEB flowers from now on.

Buffalo Clover is where I go to do any of the gift shopping for my wife and any husband would be wise to shop here. No need to leave Lockhart and shop at any of the big box stores when every single one of the dresses, flowers, or accessories I have bought for my wife was a hit! Shop local!
