billy-hill:

i’ll never understand the point of buying flowers as gifts.

i like flowers as much as anyone else but

i like them best OUTSIDE. in the GROUND. where they BELONG.

the US floral industry makes over $100 BILLION annually. 

all for some expensive pre-cut that you’ll put on your fireplace mantle or dining-room table and will die within the week.

why

buying flowers as a gift is stoopeed. However, giving flowers as a gift isn’t. Now if you wish to give flowers as a gift you have 2 choices: either you pick them from the ground, or drag the person to whom you’re giving them to the place where they are growing. If you pick them, you can keep them in a vase with water or dry them.

I guess you could give a small potted plant with flowers but idk how i’d feel about that.
