Just realized my entire cooler of peonies for a Saturday wedding wilted overnight because the new kid unplugged the unit to charge his phone.
Had to call three other shops in the metro area at 6 AM to piece together 200 stems, and I'm still out $400, so what's your backup plan when a delivery goes completely sideways?

Had a venue manager lock the walk-in fridge for a "private event" once... lost 150 hydrangeas that were supposed to be for a Friday morning install. My backup now is a short list of retired florists who still grow in their backyards, they saved me with cash and a truck bed full of blooms.

Smart move building that backup network, @seanfisher.

That "short list of retired florists" is a solid plan. I keep a similar list of old school mechanics who still have parts for cars they don't make anymore. It's saved my bacon more than once.
