flowers

The first time Brian gave me flowers was 2 weeks after our first date-- a dozen white roses with baby's breath and a bottle of wine, to celebrate my 21st birthday.

Yesterday, more than five years later, marked the second time. A half dozen red roses to say he was sorry.

I'm getting flowers today too, but fortunately not to say sorry this time, I figure an anniversary is good reason for that.

I'm not great about flowers either, but I try to remember sometimes.

I'm not a big flower girl, honestly, I'd rather see them in my garden than dying in a vase. I see it in the same vein as zoos that cage their animals instead of providing a safari-like sanctuary for their wildlife. I understand the purpose of aquariums and zoos, which in today's world functions largely by saving injured or "tamed" wildlife that cannot be returned to the wild, but certainly rally against the old-school philosopy of capturing wildlife to be displayed for the public.

I don't mind receiving flowers, I certainly don't ask for or expect them, and I can't think of lots of other things I'd rather get than flowers (fine dining, jewelry, movies or a book!), but yesterday, it was a nice surprise.

I agree with you about the flowers, also I get waaay more points for chocolate. I even put in my wedding vows to get chocolate whenever she wants, which fortunately has not been abused ;)
