A bouquet or two, to say I love thee



Every trite romantic comedies has them. Boy wants to impress girl? Oh, there goes a bouquet of glisteningly gorgeous red roses sent the next day straight to her workplace. Boy did something monumentally stupid and he's looking for a quick fix to mend their broken hearts? Ah there he runs and strips the florist right before she can say, no.

And just like in movies, real life has seen its fair share of romances blooming and dying with each red rose sent. Throughout time, love and romance flowers have been a tradition for young men to give to their chosen fair ladies. How deep, how strong, how important the relationship is, can be easily reflected in the language of flowers they exchange.

Yellow blooms for friendship and life

Romances aside, flowers have been a testament and witness to each and every one of life's joys and pains. The welcoming of a new birth is deserving of new baby flowers. It's quite a precious and a simple gift next to the most important and priceless addition to an expanding family.

Though sadness envelops the occasion, it is expected to reach out to the bereaved with a simple and heartfelt gesture of sending sympathy flowers. In life's ups and downs, flowers have always proven to possess a ubiquitous presence.

Though it may seem flat and dull compared to the envious eye popping varieties of petals and blooms, plants have their own power and might over our everyday life.

With just a simple touch of adding a fern or a simple garden, plants and flowers can do wonders for a dreary place. In fact they add color and life to what could have been a nuisance in someone's house.

Who said love can't feed hungry mouths?

They say the quickest way to a person's heart is through food, or so I've heard. What could be better than eating something aesthetically gorgeous and delicious too?

Flowers nowadays can not only fill a person's romantic notions, but also fuels and adds zing to dishes old and anew, and that's quite a bargain!
