Just curious.
I did once, in high school. My girlfriend worked as a florist and sent me some for no real reason. I think she was trying a new
arrangement or something, but it was very cool.
Have you received any? Would you want to?
For me, it was both kind of embarrassing and pretty cool. I do like flowers, but I don't know if I'd ever buy some for myself.
More because I don't think about than anything, I guess.

i havent, but i think i would enjoy it
when i was younger, i always helped my mom out in the yard planting and such, so i always appreciated the look of a finished garden with some nice colors in it
maybe once, in high school, or maybe it was middle school, i can't remember. it was some class where we all had to leave our books in the hallway before going into the classroom. when i came back out, there were flowers on my books. i figured "oh these must have been meant for someone else" and i left them on the floor
they could have been for someone else though, and what was i supposed to do, walk around with a flower all day? someone would have beat me up

High school? Put it in your lapel.
No, no wait -- put on a robe and say "Krishna consciousness" with a beatific smile. A lot.
No, wait -- you'd still get beat up.

yes...one black rose...:(:mad:...And last year I got a fancy orchid for V-day that promptly died…but I buy her flowers quite often, I like the way they make the bedroom smell…last year she went on a rampage and pillaged the lilac bush out front of my house and the effect was amazing…(y)

I have given a single flower to a guy a few times. Just as an extra on whatever I was already doing.
No one ever complained. :p

They were fake flowers, Pete! You couldn't even get me real ones! You don't love me anymore.
I got some from my grandma in 1987.

I have sent mr.p flowers before. I can't remember why now, it was many years ago, but I do recall sending them to his work and that he got a kick out of it.
I have also bought him orchids before; we both love them. We go most years to the annual orchid fair in Kew Gardens. They're quite amazing plants, I think.

I've given flowers to guys a few times.
I think it was the last one that was at all appreciated, but he forgot it at work over the weekend and of course
the arrangement had dried when he got back... :mad:
I didn't get any flowers yesterday (nor today...), was a little dissappointed. Was going to buy an orchid from IKEA,
but I wanted a bigger one they had at the mo...

I honestly don't think I've ever bought flowers for anyone. weird. I don't think my pickle would like flowers...he'd probably like a regular green plant though.

I got flowers once from a girl....she was doing it as an apology for something. I don't quite recall what it was but it was REALLY bad so I think the flowers only pissed me off further. I think I just wound up throwing them in my trunk. Now if I woman got them for me just cus or under happy circumstances that would be really cool

for my birthday, 2 years ago, from a married friend. i thought it was tremendously sweet of her- one of my favorite presents.
Never, but I'd see it as a nice gesture.
Come to think of it, it would be cool to receive a venus fly trap or cactus as a present.
