When I lived in CA there was this corner store run by a very nice Korean couple.
They had all the normal corner grocery items, some Asian specialty items, and the woman who ran the place had a hothouse where she grew (and sold) orchids.
They didn't speak much English but it was quaint, cheap, and the old man would actually deliver small purchases.
On our 5 week anniversary I called in and spoke to the missus about delivering a handful of white orchid blossoms to my GF as a symbol of my pure love for her.
She tearfully broke up with me that night over the phone and it was 2 weeks before I found out that the reason was my 'anniversary' present...
A wooden orchid box.
And a 5 pound bag of white flour.
