Just Because

Anybody get flowers just because? Ya, they are usually far and few in between and that’s only if you are lucky enough to have someone who actually buys you flowers on those special occasions. I like buying flowers and/or plants as house warming gifts or as a gift to the person who is hosting a party and refuses to let me bring anything. I also like to buy arrangements during the holidays too because some of the plants look pretty. This year though I was thinking about buying more herbs and even dabble in fruit plants for next year so I won’t have to drive top pick blackberries.

If I had to choose 5 occasions where flowers were appropriate I’d say:

1. Housewarming
2. Birthdays
3. Hostess gift
4. Holidays
5. Anniversaries

Flowers brighten anybodies day if you ask me and the more fragrant they are the better if you ask me although some reek like Gardenia’s. I remember my mother grew a couple of those bushes near the front door and I avoided those as much as possible when they were in bloom. She also grew wisteria, that was a very sweet smell.
