Jo said I am a metrosexual SNAG because I like flowers. Really? I think it has to do with the fact that I did a short course on Botany in the U and had so many pretty aspiring botanists for company that I got hooked on the cute petals :))
Well my Significant Others have always received flowers from me. Not so much because I thought it romantic but because I am fascinated with flower architecture and color. I also happen to think that flowers and plants are perfect accents to any home if used correctly and strategically.
I have a soft spot for bulbous flowering plants like Lilies, Tulips and Gladiolus. As well as the longish tropical jungle-types like Ginger and Bird of Paradise. Their long stems/stalks and beautifully shaped flowers look poised in a simple elegant crystal vase.
Well here are some of my favs. And yes, you can stop laffing at this 'sissy' now! :))
Calla Lily
Gladiolus
