And for the LOLs...
"One flower at a time,
I want to hear what it is saying."
Robert Francis from "Bouquets" - quotation on my calendar for today.
I can tell you what the flowers are saying...
"Free nectar! Get your free nectar right here! No ifs, no buts, absolutely no catches whatsoever, for a limited time only! Hey, madam! Yes, you, in the fetching yellow-and-black number! You look all done in. Been lugging them pollen bags with you all day, dear dear, no rest for the wicked, is there, eh? Know what you need? A good sit-down and a nice, long drink of my sweet and absolutely guaranteed-free nectar. Gotta take time to be good to yourself, ma'am, cos nobody else'll do it for you! That's it, just past the UV light display there. Oh, we had that fitted for the ambience, know what I mean, make the place a bit more hippy-esque, yeah, like those meditation temples or whatever. Don't mind the stamens, now, they'll just give you a nice massage - it's free too, madam, all part of the service! (Alright, boys: quick and quiet now, load 'em on!) What's that? You're feeling heavier? Oh yeah, that's an effect of the massage, ma'am, the muscles relaxing and all that. No, no, your pollen bags definitely have not got bigger. Come on, would I lie to you, madam? Now, settle yourself down on the stigma there, take the weight off your wings and make yourself comfy. Go on, wiggle about as much as you want, get everything just where you need it, I don't mind! (Ok, girls, grab what you can! And none of your cross-species malarkey, Kimberley, I don't care if you think tiger lilies are sexy.) Sorry, madam, must've had something in my ear, what did you say? Oh yeah, yeah, the nectar, right, just down here, ma'am, that's it. You take a good long drink now. Yeah, just sit back, relax, let my boys and girls get you nice and comfy, and suck up all that sweet, sweet nectar.... There you go, good, ain't it? Now you be sure to tell all your girl friends: free nectar, right here, right now, no questions asked, everybody welcome. See ya soon, alright. (Yahaha, good work, everybody. Another satisfied and completely oblivious customer. Alright, back to work, summer don't last for ever, you know.) Free nectar! Get your free nectar right here..."
