Bruce, monster, you're both right.
I don't have the time and resources to track down the ideal this time around. She's got 3 hours of work this afternoon. While she's doing this I'm supposedly going to be killing time in Barnes and Noble or the Harbor mall. Instead I'm going to walk to a flower store, tell them what I'd like and then tell them to go nuts. I'm sure she'll be thrilled whatever I get her. Especially since I don't think she's really expecting anything. |

The best "flowers" I've received are orchids. I have a passion for them. They are unusual, beautiful, have an extremely wide variety of shapes and colors, and the blooms last for weeks, even months, at a time. While you can find cut orchids at a florist, the blooms will not last as long. The orchids at the box stores are alright, but usually not the healthiest. A nursery, especially one that specializes in orchids, is the best place to find them.

The best flowers I ever got? A bog standard bouquet of closed scentless buds from a man who disagreed with sending flowers on principle but needed a big gesture. He chose badly, but hey - he had no practice. In fact he was a shit, but it was a symbol and that meant everything. Death with leaves?! Orchids look so dirty. I love them. Quote:

Excellent decision. I can see my post last night was a tad forthright, sorry about that. Nuts would be an excellent addition to the bouquet, by the way. Different, amusing, yummy. It should patent it -the "I'm nuts about you" bouquet. D'you think the production-line-bouquet-makers would go for it? btw, mostly I'm just glad to see you so happy, and I bet she's the biz ![]()
