Flowers?...i have always got a bunch of them in my home,
what are your favourites? ..do you buy them at a florists, market,supermarket, if so,who do you think stock the best?..
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..
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.
Yes indeed,i bought some roses at Lidl,absolutely no smell,on my way back from the shops,i passed my neighbours garden,she has an open front,beautiful pink rose,i thought i must smell that,it was like it was drawing me to it,lol,..the smell was lovely!
Yes I love Flowers, I always buy a bunch of Carnations to put in the Vase.
I never buy carnations susiejaeger,do they last long?..and do the buds open out?...in the past i have bought them,but the buds never opened, maybe i need to try them again.do they smell like a carnation should?
