An online florist is facing a million-dollar legal case after it revealed one of its customers was sending flowers to his girlfriend.

Leroy Greer is suing 1-800-Flowers after it sent a thank you card for using its service to the man's home address. His wife opened the card and queried the order, which was then faxed through to her.

The fax contained details of the order and the message "Just wanted to say I love you and you mean the world to me! Leroy". The order also included a stuffed animal.

Greer's wife amended the fax, sent it to her husband and has sued for divorce. He is now suing the florist for a million dollars in the Texas Southern District Court.
