Women and Flowers
To the TFP Ladies - just how much do you love flowers?
My mother enjoys receiving potted miniature roses. My father has given her many over the years - they have recently moved the flower pots from the front porch and begun to incorporate the miniature roses that represent their love as a major facet in their landscaping. I find this a fantastic legacy, and I wonder if many women share a similar love for enduring flowering plants.

Do you enjoy being given flowers as a gift?
Yes, they are one of my favorite gifts.
Would you prefer cut flowers or living potted flowers?
Either - both! At the moment, I enjoy cut flowers more than potted flowers simply because I live in apartment with limited sunshine. Potted plants don't stand much of a chance.
Do you enjoy placing them on display?
Yes. They especially liven up a room in the midst of wintertime gloom.
Do you have allergies that prevent you from enjoying flowers?
Thankfully, no.
What are your favorite flowers to look at?
Mums. They're so fluffy!
What flowers have your favorite scent?
Lilies. Goodness they're intoxicating!
Have you been given flowers at the start of a date?
I don't believe so. This seems antiquated. I'm not sure I'd know how to handle it if someone arrived on my doorstep with flowers.
If so, how did it impact the date?
N/A
Were you ever given flowers for Valentine's Day?
Yes. Several times.
Have you ever been given flowers in reward of an accomplishment?
Yes. At the end of every choir show, my aunt and uncle and my parents and usually a male friend would each give me a bouquet. I had dozens of dried roses in my bedroom as a teenager.
Have you ever asked for flowers?
A few times. It usually falls on deaf ears.
