Founding and early on years [edit]

The concept of using the word "flowers" within a phoneword was originated by William Alexander in the early 1980s.

In an understanding with Jahn that would afterward be sharply contested, Granville Semmes and David Snowfall formed a Louisiana corporation that began to use that number to sell flowers in Louisiana, starting in 1982.[4] The utilize of the number would trigger a series of lawsuits.[4] Their business struggled and that company was dissolved, with its assets going to investors James Poage and John Davis of Texas.
