What, No One Buys Flowers Anymore?!

So I'm driving up to my storage unit to drop off some stuff when I see, off to the right of me, the flower shop I now go to to get flowers whenever I want to see my dead prom date.  This flower shop replaced the one that was closer to me and closed, oh, two years ago.

Well, fuck me, but that other flower shop's sign said, "Thank you for 16 years.  Closed."  WHAT?!

Just like that, another flower shop is kaput.  Is the demand for flowers just disappearing?  Is automation taking florist jobs just as quickly as warehouse ones?

And more importantly: Where the hell am I going to get flowers now?  I owe my friend one more visit this year.  Do I just show up to her grave without flowers?
