Flowers

[Svedish_Chef]

For something that women like so much.... a sure way to do their level best to rip a mans wallet clean of money.

Cheapest set of flowers I could get was 35USD... thats already 70AUD.

I guess we really do pay through the nose for love.

Chefster, ya gotta grow 'em yourself if you're on a budget. The places that deliver 'em for ya are brutally over-priced, the only time to use them is when you're making a statement (such as sending two dozen long stemmed red roses to somebody at work, that's worth the price - or at least it was once if I recall correctly.)

*chuckle*

I know, just got my New Zealand credit card bill, $81.35 for a small but lovely boquet. Exchange rates are the real killer, becuase the minimum wage in both countries is about the same. Don't you just hate it knowing that the flowers you just bought would probably have cost you $35AUD too?

If I was close I would, believe me

We have half a dozen rose nushes here, and my freind up the road has 26 and counting...

Maybe we need to start selling the flowers to get the money back.

A fantastic idea if your lover is in the same town, or country.

Call me odd, but flowers (well roses really) don't do much for me.

Well, other than those poofy dandelion things...I just love those. Sadly, I don't think I could go out and get a bouquet of those...

Ah, yes, distance. Does that bite, or what?

One of my favorite stories was sending roses to the workplace of a... let's say "belle I was courting", for the sake of brevity. No special day, just thought she needed to get noticed at work. As she told it, she walked in after they'd been delivered, a bunch of people in the office, and in her best sarcastic voice announced, "I just KNOW those are for me." The reaction was worth every penny, and the challenge of getting the damn things there because the building was new and didn't have a street address yet was worth it, too.

Ditto.

They do even less for me.

But its almost all anyone wants to sell.

For the record I was looking at Azealas

 

[aly*]

true, didn't think of that. oops.

got a drawing of a flower from a danish man once, and i was smitten.
well, i guess there were other influential pictures...

but i think i may be easy or something.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Ah, a living plant, not a cut flower... nice touch, Chef. Good thing you weren't trying to impress Laurel, eh?

 

[Madia]

But the surprise, loving thought behind them should do something for you.

That it does. Can't say I've had any given to me though... I've just had to constantly live with them since my mother has a rather large fondness for flowers.

 

[lilminx]

To let all of you out there who are dying to buy me flowers out there...

I'd prefer a bouquet of assorted wildflowers (especially tigerlilies) to a dozen roses any day.

They not only don't do much, I won't allow them near me. I have a collection of potted plants that have moved across the country several times with me. Each one was given for a special occasion and remain with me as reminders.

A new idea that has cropped up here to replace flowers is a candy basket, either chocolate, hard candies or both. Seems to be catching on fast.

I have daisies too, and lilacs, and crepe myrtles, and lilies (four different kinds), tulips, hydrangia, zinnia, and peonies, ...there are others too, can't think of them right now. Grow them yourself. Chocolate's always nice....Suiss..yum, yum..If I buy you chocolate, can I have some too?

I like getting roses once in a while but the ones that I remember best are the ones my grandmother grew outside her front door.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

A dozen roses in the car.

Always better to give something that is living

I always share, well almost always. Unless its the triple chocolate chip cheesecake that I'm addicted to. Its just too good to last long enough for sharing.

Sis. You going to grow roses too like your Grandma?

If I had more of a yard, I definitely would. We spent a lot of time planting rose bushes and other flowers when I was younger. Those were good times.
