Mums The Word At Worldwide Flower Shops

By Adriana Noton

Flower shops around the globe have been found to be keeping a very old secret. Faithful shop employees have kept mum for years. Although this secret is not of life altering importance, it is one that once revealed, may cause a bit of discomfort for some individuals. How many people will feel refreshed once the truth has finally been revealed'

People buy flowers from London flower shops for a lot of different reasons. A husband may buy flowers for his wife on their anniversary, her birthday, and especially Valentine's day. Children buy flowers for their Mother on mother's day. Even office executives purchase flowers for their office workers on secretaries day. Giving the gift of flowers has become a worldwide pastime.

Many husbands bring flowers to their wives as an apology. More than a few husbands bring flowers home to their wives for no reason at all. Of course this is because they love their wives. However, this is where the secret lies. The truth of the matter is that men frequently buy flowers because men like flowers.

What better excuse for a man to choose and buy a beautiful bunch of flowers, than to say 'They are a gift'? Seriously, people need to start asking why. Why does a man need to create an excuse in order to purchase a lovely bunch of flowers? After all, they look great, smell fabulous, and they usually make people feel good. Were not flowers put on the earth for the enjoyment of all people? Or are they just supposed to be for women?

Why do all these ridiculous rules exist? 'Pink is for girls, blue is for boys', 'flowers are for girls, cars are for boys'. Has not society progressed beyond this type of thinking yet? Seriously, if people have not moved passed these stereotypes, perhaps they have regressed.

Think about it ladies. What is better, a man that thinks flowers are wonderful, or a man that thinks flowers are silly and girlish? How many would appreciate an attached card reading 'here are your stupid flowers'? Or, ' I know that you are just a silly woman, which made me feel certain that you would prefer these girlish flowers, over something useful'. This is sort of the counterpart to the woman who gives her husband a new hammer, with a note attached that reads ' I bought you a hammer, because I know that you are just a Neanderthal who likes to hit things'

How many woman would appreciate or waste a moment with a man who upon visiting the art museum declares that this is another Saturday afternoon that he will 'never get back'? This is indeed a less than a charming fellow. How much better for him to show appreciation for the beauty that is before him.

The truth gentlemen is that flower shops appreciate your business, and would love to hear that you are buying this selection for yourself - 16892
