A warm feeling and an Ecologically Friendly Purchase

I love receiving flowers because I know that for an instant, when that person was choosing the bouquet, they...

Had me and something beautiful sharing the same space in their mind - the same thought.

That’s how I feel when I buy flowers for someone else.

I can’t imagine buying flowers without feeling good about the person I am buying them for, even when the flowers represent an apology.

Every time I look at the flowers I receive I think of that person, and...

Have a WARM feeling about them and the world in general.

I also like to receive flowers because they don’t last forever.

I don’t need to find cupboard space for them when I am not using them...

They don’t gather dust or need cleaning like an ornament, though I have to admit that I won’t let flowers occupy a messy room.

So...

I have to get out the dusting cloth anyway!

When I get rid of them I don’t have to feel guilty that they are going into landfill and will last for another thousand years.

Flowers don’t go out of fashion so you don’t need to update your bouquet or get the latest version.

And...

For the short time that they are around they make any part of my home look better.
