Re: Do You Love

I love flowers and plants - but never have any of them indoors as so many are poisonous for our pets.

Re: Do You Love

I love both cut flowers and plants. We only have a Tesco a Coop and a Liddil here so not a great deal of choice. But when I go back down to Perth I always get them from Morrisons, they have such a big choice, and always in good health..

Re: Do You Love

I love flowers of every kind but rarely buy any because they don't last long. Pot plants like begonias and chrysanthemums last for weeks. I do buy daffodils when in season.

When I first met my husband to be, he was living in a large village and when parking his car had to pass a huge garden full of flowers owned by an elderly gentleman. My chap knocked on the door and asked if he could buy some flowers and it became a regular thing. They really were beautiful.
Homegrown garden flowers seem to have a scent that mass-produced imported flowers lack.

I love all the flowers as I look out into my Garden.

Never ever bring them indoors.

Strictly growing wild for me, observed, enjoyed, and unplucked.
