Let there be flowers!

Every so often, there comes a time when a man must suck it up and admit he was wrong. Either through words or actions. I’ve found, over the 6 years I’ve been married that the easiest way to do this is to visit one of the local florists and pick out a nice bouquet of hydrangeas, roses or other flower of the moment. A small act like sending a sweet smelling arrangement of Orchids tends to go a long way to easing the heart of a wronged loved one.

Even better though, is just sending flowers out of the blue for no reason at all. Like commenting on other blogs or posting to your favorite forums, its an easy way to let someone you love know you’re thinking about them and it might just be the spot on sunlight on an other wise dreary day that they needed. I know my girls (Amy and Grace anyways) would love to receive flowers for no reason at all. Amy loves hydrangeas and Grace would love nothing more than to receive a rose a day. Personally, I’d choose the Potted Exotic Orchid at proflowers.com. The orchid itself is a very diverse plant (one of the largest families of plants) and it has sooo many uses. The one use I prefer though it to look at it. Its a gorgeous plant. We gave one to my grandfather four years ago and it keeps blooming and blooming and blooming! (speaking of which, I need to go repot it…).

whats your favorite flower??

    They’re nice (hydrangeas) but they belong outside, on a big ol’ bushy plant.

    I don’t think I’m a real girl, as my friend Kristi so nicely put it. I don’t actually have a favorite flower. I love flowers though! All kinds!
