So, tanrinia told me I had to do

I like giving flowers to people, including myself. I have been sending flowers to guys for years. Unfortunately, the kitties eat my flowers if I buy them now, so I tend to just wistfully enjoy the bouquets in the stores.

We just put our flowers up on the counter, where the boys know they're not allowed to go. That solves the "flowers=snackfood" issue for us.

I prefer to solve the "flowers=snackfood" issue by getting nasturtiums whenever I have the opportunity (quite rarely since I never look for them). Mmm, tasty.

Oh, you wanted the flowers NOT to be eaten? Nevermind.

I used to grow nasturtiums to put in salads. :)

That certainly sounds like a fair trade.

Haha, we are both hippies in bed. :P

As for flowers, flowers are lovely. But everybody makes such a big fuss about buying them when really, they are all over the place. Any highway median is overflowing with wildflowers during the early summer, and road-sides, unkempt parking lots, unmowed lawns, and basically anywhere else that supports growth will yield beautiful blossoms if it is allowed to do so. And these can be enjoyed all the time.

So for me, I'd rather be taken somewhere where the flowers are. Then, they don't have to be torn up, nor do I have to ponder the un-naturalness of plants raised in green houses and coated with chemicals. I get to touch them, smell them, steal a few if I want, and generally enjoy being the kind of magical place where flowers grow.

So no, I don't think it would occur to me to BUY another person flowers. I can buy them other things. Nature is free!
