Gift Shops
It is that time of year again when flowers are delivered in big bunches to flower shops. Valentine’s Day is drawing near and the price of Valentines rose bouquet is starting to rise. On Valentine’s Day itself flowers of the imported kind will be affordable only to the rich. Lesser mortals will have to contend with local orchids and homegrown roses. It has been this way for years and I don’t think it will change in the future.
It is fun to browse though bouquet arrangements in a flower shop. An arrangement of 12 long stemmed red roses with a cute and cuddly teddy bear. Another arrangement presents a cute teddy bear hugging 12 roses arranged in a glass vase. My favorite is a truly special arrangement of mums and lillies. It looks so pure and clean like the love that it symbolizes.
