I had a very close relative due unexpectedly last year. I got flowers pretty much every week for months it was lovely! (The flowers, not the grief)

This year I’ve bought myself flowers every couple of weeks because I miss having them

It won’t be long until someone says they prefer them alive….

I used to buy a couple of bunches every 7-10 days for my home, just because they look nice. I stopped for some reason and never started again.

I never used to have them in the house until I renovated

The living room is now very minimal : white walls, beige seating and light wood floors and furniture

It needs a lift

The pop of a good bunch of flowers provides the punch it needs

Nice to see people give them but also just get them because they like them. I used to have flowers every week without fail but have not done so as much recently. And to be fair sime if my favourites do not come in a cheep bunch or always easy to get.

The Town by The Cross

Very rarely.

Anyone who knows me knows that I do not enjoy getting flowers.

Main Reason : It's a job not a pleasure to recieve flowers. Then they decay and you have to reverse the vase, water , put the flowers in fiasco and wash the vase. Fuck off with the job I don't want it.

Also a main reason : Flowers should have ROOTS and be outdoors where they want to be. People kill them.

Secondary reason. They are expensive.

I always say a polite thankyou and then give them to someone else or bin them and cut out all the work involved.

I love flowers but rarely get given any.

Nice in the garden.

You don't bring me flowers

You don't sing me love songs

You hardly talk to me anymore

When I come through the door at the end of the day

I remember when you couldn't wait to love me

Used to hate to leave me

Now after loving me late at night

When it's good for you

And you're feeling all right

When you just roll over and turn out the light

And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural

To talk about forever

But used-to-bes don't count anymore

They just lay on the floor 'til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember all the things you taught me

I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry

Well, I learned how to love, I, I even learned how to lie

So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye

'Cause you don't say you need me

You don't sing me love songs

And you don't bring me flowers anymore
