A woman tried to order a poppy bouquet over the phone but there was a misunderstanding - and she ended with PUPPIES.<br /><br />Sarah Hollingsworth, 35, wanted the flowers to take to an exhibition in San Digeo.<br /><br />So she called up a florist and placed an order - asking for poppies.<br /><br />And although she was slightly confused when the person on the phone asked how many, Sarah didn't think much more of it.<br /><br />But, when the bouquet arrived, she realised what had happened - as she was looking at floral puppies.<br /><br />Sarah, who runs baby registry company Poppylist and lives in Austin, Texas, said: "The woman and I were talking on the phone.<br /><br />"I said I wanted some poppy flowers as it’s the name of my company but also the flower of California. <br /><br />“It’s funny thinking back because I remember her asking me how many I wanted, which I thought was strange. <br /><br />“I said, 'I’m not sure - I guess two?' <br /><br />“We then both hung up phone, she probably just as confident as me that our conversation had been totally mutually understood.” <br /><br />Sarah's parents then picked up the flowers a few days later, which they all unwrapped it together. <br /><br />She said: “At first I was like these aren’t poppies. <br /><br />“I took off the wrapping and then saw these weird googly eyes and thought, 'What are those doing there?’.<br /><br />“I took a step back and it was then so obvious it was two dogs. They had misheard me say puppy instead of poppy. <br /><br />“We were all cry laughing, it was hilarious."<br /><br />Rather than return the order, Sarah put them front and centre at the exhibition. <br /><br />She said: “I didn’t even call to return because they’re so good! It’s the best, most ridiculous mess up. <br /><br />“It acted as the perfect icebreaker on our booth. <br /><br />Sarah shared a clip of her and her family discovering the mishap, which has since gone viral. <br /><br />The mum to two girls - Amelia, four, and Zoe, one - says it’s been nice to have something explode online where the reaction has been “exclusively positive.” <br /><br />One TikTok user commented on the video, which has since been liked over half a million times: “Let's be honest, puppies > poppies, this floral shop wins! <br /><br />While another wrote: “I like that the florist was probably like “that’s an odd request…” but just did it anyway no questions asked.” <br /><br />Sarah has been running the business which allows people create a wish list for things they need for their newborns for two-and-a-half years.
