Writing reviews, especially disappointing one's, can be difficult at times. However; I truly believe reviews help consumers decide who to patronize. After researching Florist's shops in the downtown area, I noticed a place called Flora Clay. I called the shop and spoke with a representative who was pleasant over the phone. The arrangement I picked to have delivered was a Orchid arrangement called "Warmhearted" . This arrangement cost $82.00 and even though that might not seem like much to most people, it was a bit pricey for my budget. Their website indicated delivery is free with purchases over $50.00 but I was charged for delivery. In total, the cost $92.29. The arrangement I picked and the one delivered weren't the same! I get flowers are seasonal, but what I didn't quite understand was the lack of communication on Flora Clay's part! The leaves had white spots on them, the flowers were a different size and color. Something I could have picked up at a local Ralph's for way less! My suggestion to anyone thinking of ordering from this place, DON'T! Overpriced and quality sucks! read more

I have been a loyal customer for years at Lee's orchids since the previous owner Joseph was here. The orchids and flowers are always the freshest and the assortment is amazing. The employees are always so kind and ready to help. Every time I walk in they remember me by name and offer Thor assistance. I will be back in a few weeks. I recommend Lee's orchids to everyone looking for quality orchids at a very reasonable price! I am back at Lee's Orchid and they have so many fresh and beautiful orchids at such a reasonable price... I want to take them all. I can always depend on the great customer services, outstanding prices and quality selection. I shall return soon for more!!! read more

Beautiful orchid selection and really great customer service and they also have a promotion area where you can get orchids for a little bit less. There's an added bonus, they have free parking which is nice considering it's downtown LA and having to park elsewhere around the area would be expensive and/or difficult. read more

LOVEEEEEEEE LEE'S ORCHID! Wish I had discovered this shop sooner! The store is always busy, but they have amazing service and will make your arrangement in a very timely manner. They have the best selection of orchids, any shape size and color you desire and lots of pots and vases to plant them in. They charge approx. 5 dollars per orchid to make your arrangement for you. Orchids range from $10-25 each. They have great prices and great service and great taste. I would never go to another place for orchid arrangements after discovering Lee's. read more

Flora Clay - This place is so amazing Prices people and orchids are unreal - Florists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was fantastic! My husband has shopped with them before, but this was the first time I've been in the shop. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. They sell arrangements, individual flowers or you can create your own arrangement, which is what I did. They told me how to take care of them and they made my arrangement in under 10 minutes. Best of all was the price! They are much less expensive than traditional flower shops. If you love orchids, this is the place to go! Stunning flowers and friendly service. read more

In short: Staff is friendly Prices are reasonable (average if not less) Variety indeed! Plants and flowers are well maintained Store layout is beautifully displayed and organized Let me start off I was in the flower district in search for plants that were non-poisonous for pets and good for air quality. They were going to be gifts for 2 of my sisters who both have had a history of asthma, allergies and whom also have pets. I went to almost ALL of the little shops nearby with expectations to ask and get answers and suggestions. I even researched and took a list with me. Almost all the places had no idea what plant I was showing them or knew of any suggestions for my dilema at hand. Lees Orchids was one of the first places to have had walked into and was greeted by Samuel, the older man who works the floor. By far the most friendliest and most sincere greeting with a big smile. But decided to check out the competition around the area. Which there wasn't any. I went back and Samuel welcomed me back in. He told me his name, having an accent, so I might be slightly off. Sorry. But anyway, I interrupted him as he nurtured and displayed the plants and told him what I was looking for and showed him my list. Without giving him their names he knew their name and told me wether they had them or if they were seasonal. He stopped what he was doing and walked around the shop in delight telling me to follow him with excitement, he might have even giggled as he showed me around, picking out the best ones from my list and handing them to me and detailed the maintenance of each plant. He even suggested other plants that fit my description. He saw my kids in tow and was super friendly and offering plants that were great for kids too. Samuel, sold me on the decoration part as well and his wealth in knowledge led me to buy more than I wanted originally but left so happy with my purchase that I will defiantly come back to buy more. Thank you Samuel! If it wasn't for his great and over the top customer service I don't think I would've bought anything. I would've gone home unsatisfied and just bought a money tree from an expensive boutique by my house. I hope he continues to color the floor of Lees Orchids with his knowledge and love of plants. read more

I have been coming here for years but never wrote a review.They have a wide selection,they are always restocking with new ones and their prices are amazing,not like going to the grocery store and seeing those high prices for just a one stem or two stem.The staff is really friendly and knowledgable. read more

This is place is unbeatable. I've come here multiple times and it always has both fresh flowers AND awesome prices. Orchids, cacti, house plants: all are here and you get the full "flower district" experience. Expect to be overwhelmed. They do a good job with variety. Best time to show up is a weekday when the crowds are minimal. read more

Flora Clay - Florists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just had all my wedding flowers done for a big wedding reception by Lee's Orchids and it was the best decision I've ever made. I am extremely snobby when coming to flower arrangements. Not only did they make beautiful, heavenly, astounding arrangements, but they were on time and put in all of their effort and more. I was so impressed by their services I actually decided to blow the deposit money I put down with a different florist to go with this place. Their event designer florist has been working for more than 30 years, and their sample blew me away. Their flowers on the actual wedding day far surpassed the beauty of the samples, which I thought could not be prettier. You can tell them what you want, and they work with your budget and are very accomodating. I called them practically every day and they kept updating orders for me on a timely basis, and were always available to talk with me. I had rented some centerpieces and had them decorate beautiful gold trees, and their artistic beauty (Jihye and other ladies) is just genius. Everyone kept asking who my florist was, and everyone was taking pictures with the flowers and centerpieces. Also, orchids are super expensive as a flower, but this place is an orchid wholesaler so you can add them in for cheaper than other stores! love love love!!! BTW I went to other florists in the LA flower district that are highly skilled and professional, and other places wanted to charge me almost twice as much as this place did. thats many thousands of dollars saved. I think the most important aesthetic factor of the wedding are the flowers and the decorations, and that's what Lee's Orchids fulfilled. They totally made the night. I will upload pics as soon as i get them, but honestly, I have looked through more than 40 bridal magazines and chose the prettiest flower pictures from "Ceremony," but my flower arrangements were the prettier than all of them!! All my bridesmaids and guests agree. They're just magical. I was able to bring back some centerpieces to my home and I just spend time enjoying a cup of tea sitting in front of them, and it makes my heart whole and happy. Hahaha. I had no idea flowers can have such an effect. I love them. Please book them. It will be the best decision you ever made. * Say you want some flower arrangement done that you saw from a bridal magazine. You may find other florists in the LA downtown area that claim to be able to do the arrangements you want, but trust me. most of them CAN'T. This place CAN and do at a very very good price. read more

One of the best quality orchid spots in DTLA. What I like about it is the staff -- they help you no matter how many plants you want to purchase. They explain the differences, explain how to take care of them, and even help you pick them out! I've never had any issues just parking out front and running in, but there are several $5 parking lots on this street. The shop is extremely clean, and the plants all look healthy and well grown. They have a HUGE selection and all different sizes and colors. The more you buy, the better the price. They do offer boxes or bags to tote the plants home. read more

Flora Clay - Adding some color to our office at Paramount Pictures - Florists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is long overdue, but Sara from Lee's Orchids saved my wedding, and not only were the flowers GORGEOUS but Sara's service and organization went way beyond our expectations. My husband and I found ourselves in a tight situation really close to our wedding date, and Sara stepped up to take on this enormous challenge on such a tight turnaround. She basically told us to not worry about it, and with all the craziness of the wedding I felt so comfortable leaving my wedding flowers in her hands. Sara was so organized and so responsive over phone/email, and was there on-site the day of the wedding. I couldn't believe how beautiful and perfect her flowers were, and all the flowers were in their place on the wedding day. She knew exactly what flowers were appropriate for the wedding event, and I was so nicely surprised to see the lace/burlap combination in the flowers/boutinnieres, which were a perfect touch for our garden/outdoor wedding. I can't say enough amazing things about Sara and Lee's Orchids, and would highly recommend anyone to use them if you're looking for a reliable, organized, highly professional florist who arranges the most beautiful flowers [with amazing delivery and setup service!]. read more

I am floored to see that a worker/ owner commented to my review on facebook, stating that I was the only one that received a shitty service from them. Be professional and apologize, maybe you'll get more referrals and returned customers. You don't blame the client for not being able to deliver your services. #douchebag read more

It's that time of the year where you need to order flowers for loved ones and what not. As mentioned in my previous review, they do ALL and everything orchids (they did roses too for my special event) but I recently found out that they also do poinsettias. I needed to decorate the lobby of our building to a Christmas themed look and wanted to look for poinsettias (did not know where to turn). Decided to call Lee's and guess what? THEY GOTS IT! A whole display of those red, funny, faux material looking pointsettias! I picked up a few for the lobby entrance and they look fantastic. Lee's Orchids should change their name to Lee's Flowers that way the average Joe like me can easily call and get info on all flowers cause...Lee's Orchids has all flowers!! Still waiting to see if I will hire them for my wedding though...stay tuned. read more
