According to me, we (men) couldn't care less about flowers. But flowers are those things that make or break peace on earth. Had it not been for flowers, a relationship would've been like sazaa-e-kaalapaani... Let me be more specific!
An average man doesn't know the difference between orchids, tulips or a chrysanthemum. We have no idea which flower is to be presented when/where and what it means. Ikebana is just another Japanese food item or Chinese clothing. Estimation of the beauty quotient of a bouquet has always been out-of-syllabus.
That's why it's completely out of our reach to actually, be thoughtful, go to the florist and buy an appropriate bouquet. That's because flowers don't interest us. Things would've been drastically different if we were asked to pick CDs\ video games instead of flowers!
I had once heard a speech on different how different types of flowers mean different things, how different colours of the same flower mean different things and how different numbers of the same coloured, same type of flower mean different things. Quite obviously it was given by a girl and that was way too much for someone like me!!
Anyways... that's not the point...
My idea is instead of displaying flowers at the florists shop or pictures on websites, and confusing us, the florist should display just tags. All we have to do is walk into the shop tell the florist our 'offence' and the florist just hands us the 'right' bouquet/flowers.
I forgot our anniversary -- Bouquet 27.
I gave my honest opinion about the cooking -- Bouquet 14.
I cracked an insensitive joke -- Bouquet 21.
This will make life a lot more easier for everyone! It anyways doesn't bother us much what we're carrying in our hands as long as it eases off our 'sentence'. So the next time you see someone with a bouquet in his hand just wish him luck with the review of his petition!
Cheers!
