Flowers for the lady

Most women love to receive presents....yeah rite, and like men don't!

The lass above made the front pages of a leading national newspaper yesterday...not by saving the world, not by having that large 3-D heart-shaped flower thingy explode in her pretty face because it was rigged with explosives by some terrorist cell, but by being the "lucky" recipient of an "unforgettable birthday gift" from her "friendly and caring" suitor. In her own words, so romantic - it's too good to be true!

(**rolls eyes upwards** ...yeah, a little sad that journalism is so commercialised that a national daily read by millions resorts to such gimmicks, giving this matter as much, if not more, prominence than groundbreaking news around the world!)

It is undeniably...

amazing to see huge blushing roses blooming in the garden....

breathtaking when a sea of yellow daffodils beckons you to streak across an open field....

delightful when tiny white daisies dot the greens indicating the onset of spring....

cheerful when tall sunflowers nod sleepily at you on a lazy sweltering afternoon....

refreshing when morning glories peek open in glistening dew....

graceful when dainty lady slipper orchids dance in the breeze....

The point being flowers are most pretty when they are alive!

What good is 999 stalks of cut roses in a contraption like the above?!? I'd worry about where to store it! And when the petals wither, I suppose one can set up a stall at the nearby craft market, whiling away the weekend selling scented rose potpurri!

And the gift above costs a whopping RM3,500 too!!! Oh gosh...there are soooooo many better ways to spend that amount of cash!!!! Charity, holidays, oh just something useful for goodness sake!

This isnt' a case of sour grapes...it's just common sense, innit?
