Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Substantial performance of a contract occurs when all major elements of a contract are completed to a degree that, despite minor deviations or omissions, the essential purpose of the contract is fulfilled. In this case, Nature's Flowers delivered the vast majority of the contracted flower arrangements, missing only a small portion, which indicates that they have substantially performed their contractual obligations. Therefore, they are entitled to payment for their performance, less deductions for the specific items not delivered.
