Birthday Roses

On August 21st I got Four Dozens of Roses.

Well, that surprised me because I have never received that much roses before.

Now, the thing that was most surprising was that it was not just from one person.

There were Three Bouquets of Roses:

• The FIRST bouquet was from my boyfriend. It had 24 roses from different colors...
  
  They were orange, yellow, purple, pink, and red.
  
  Actually everybody thinks that boyfriends should give red roses because it´s romantic.
  
  I don´t know the meaning of each color in roses and guess that he didn't know either.
  
  
• The SECOND bouquet was from my mon. It contained 12 roses...
  
  They were color lily and she knows that´s one of my favorite colors.
  
  And...
  
  
• The THIRD bouquet was from my best friend. It also contained 12 roses.
  
  But the incredible thing was that they were red dark roses.
  
  All my friends say that he was in love with me, but I dont really think so.
  

But...

The most intersting thing was that the THREE most important people in my life gave me roses, and it is not that I don´t like roses..

But...

My FAVORITE romantic flower is the tulip.

I don´t want to think that they don´t know me. I guess that they didn´t buy it because in my country the tulips are very expensive.
