The great flower debate

Posted on Monday, October 1, 2012 · 7 Comments 

Hi friends! Did you have a good weekend? Did you do anything exciting? We had a great weekend, filled with new adventures, despite a sick baby girl. I shall tell you more of these adventures later ;) Last week during one of my physical therapy sessions, I overheard one of the therapists complain to her colleague “why do people do this?! I HATE getting flowers!”. That statement turned into a pretty heated conversation….well, as heated as a conversation about flowers can get ;)  But I must admit, I was shocked. Not because of the fact that she didn’t like to get flowers, but I guess because I really never realized that some people just don’t like getting flowers! I never gave it a thought. To me, flowers are so inspiring, I love looking at them, smelling at them, touching them, and I love having them on my table, even if it’s only for a few days. But I know now, some people think it is stupid to buy something that will die a week later.

What about you guys? Love them? Hate them?

    my opinion, flowers are a girls best friend not diamonds :)

    LOVE, love, love them. Always will. Whoever can’t appreciate them, their loss, my gain! Then again, most people who know me think I love them a little too much :)

    Great question A! I cannot say I hate flowers because that’s plain ridiculous but I’d much rather get something that will last. (although I doubt a good box of chocolates would last longer than 3 minutes)

    I love fresh blooms – they give a home an instant lift! Hope your little one is feeling better :)

    I just feel I don’t receive enough flowers – I love them too! Great round-up, by the way…! :) I love the mixer, but I’m also really drawn to the pastel poppies… So wish we could get them here…!
