Young Man Orders White Roses for Valentine's, Receives Paper Flowers Resembling Funeral Flowers Instead

A young man ordered white roses for Valentine's Day but received paper flowers that look similar to funeral flowers, prompting him to seek a replacement from another flower shop. On February 17, 2026, a flower shop owner in Hat Yai, Songkhla named Em recounted how a young male customer came to her shop with a paper-folded white rose bouquet wrapped in clear paper. When the customer explained he had originally ordered dried or artificial flowers from another shop, the shop owner helped him replace the bouquet, noting the paper flowers looked remarkably like funeral flowers. The shop owner emphasized the importance of professional ethics and honesty in business, stating that customers deserve the best possible service, especially for a once-a-year occasion like Valentine's Day.
