Open the Meaning of Flowers through Gifting.

July 28th, 2010

Posy Bunch

Have you ever had to express yourself to someone, for whatever reason – be it an apology, a secret crush, or a blatant expression of love, flowers can say that for you without saying a word.

For the most part, people are intuitive. They know when someone is crushing on them and if they were to receive flowers from that person, it would solidify their thoughts and could be that step that brings on a more meaningful relationship. If someone feels they have been wronged, if they were to receive flowers from the person they felt wronged by, they will quickly relate it as an olive branch reaching out to make amends. No note would even need to be attached with the flowers, other than the name of the sender and the message would be conveyed. It can be the simple gesture of sending flowers that opens the door to forgiveness or love.

As many meanings as flowers behold, those meanings mean nothing if they are not sent to someone to make those meanings and feelings come to light. With out gifting flowers, they are just that, flowers. Regardless of flowers grand beauty, their meanings only become known when you send them.

Flowers say “Stick um up?”

July 19th, 2010

You Love Flowers Hand Tied Choose Your Colors

I know if I said it once, I have said it a 1000 times, flowers can say anything you want them to say, but never in a million years would I have thought they would be used to say “Stick um up” in a bank robbery, but yet that is exactly what transpired.

Here is a link to the entire news article I came across while browsing the net. NYDailyNews.Com

Basics are the robber made his way into a Manhattan bank with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and presented the teller with a note that he had inside the flowers demanding she hand over all the $100’s and $50’s and not to try to be a hero. The teller of course handed the money over and return the flower bearing robber left her a parting gift of the flowers. Well, as chivalrous as the parting gift of flowers were, this flower bearing robber obviously was so enthralled with the flowers fragrance that he was oblivious to the camera catching his picture that will hopefully bring his “say it with flowers” bank robbing gig to an end.
