Love having choices right across the street from each other! Both are excellent. The new owner of Blue Iris is a young new business owner and we are so lucky to have her in our community. It's all good for Catonsville and lets support all of our business community as much as possible!

I've come to prefer Blue Iris. The new owner is very easy to do business with, and she really pays attention to detail.

I've never been able to try Blue Iris; everytime I want to stop by and order something or pick something up on the fly they are closed. They should shift their hours to reach other 9-5 workers.

Blue Iris has always been my go to place. I recently saw the jewelry they're carrying, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The new owner is young and very energetic and always has a smile on her face.

The Hilton Flower Shop is my pick every time! The flower designers are extremely imaginative~you don't get the same old, same old arrangements from them. If there is something in particular you have in mind, they will make sure that is what you get. Their prices are so affordable. I LOVE this place!!

When my house was on the market, I bought fresh flowers from Blue Iris nearly every week. They were so accommodating. They special-ordered my favorite flower (stargazer lilies) every week, even when I forgot to call them. They created countless wonderful bouquets to accent my home. I sold the house in 4.5 months and attributed the sale, in part, to my new friend Allison at Blue Iris. I can't deny that Doug Schopman at Coldwelll Banker played a pretty big role, too!

Blue Iris is by far my favorite florist! I love 1/2 off Saturdays as much as I love this charming shop. The owner Allie is very kind and very talented. I've never been disappointed with any of her arrangements!! The shop is cheerful inside and it makes you want to come back. I LOVE IT!!!

I received the most gorgeous flower arrangement from Blue Iris Flowers for Administrative Professionals Day. My office is filled with the fragrance of flowers. My bosses were so impressed with the arrangement they each bought roses for their wives!
