Bring Flowers to Someone Day 2023

    bring flowers to someone
I was once a flower freak. I used to give flowers to various ladies with whom I became enamoured. Sometimes this went well. Other times there were a multitude of complications which arose from this act.

Finally, I backed off altogether as I began the realization that I likely wasn't marriage material. I must have missed fifty or so great opportunities but the career simply had to come first when I was younger. I did get to do all the dating I could stand, however.

I must say that I think flowers make a lovely gift as long as the spirit in which they are received match that in which they are given.

Today is Bring Flowers to Someone Day. It goes down each May 15th annually. It should be an act of showing someone you care or in sympathy or giving thanks.

Floriography refers to those meanings various flowers attempt to portray. The entire concept is somewhat victorian. I just like a natural form and prefer fragrant blooms myself.

While remaining quite a bit flirtatious these days I don't throw a gasket if the blooms spoil due to inaccessiblity because you happen to work with a bunch of idiots as does my girl. I once gave her a small bouquet for Valentines only to have them sit on her desk for a week due to some COVID nonesense that those in charge felt they were "managing".

Regardless, I hope you'll take a moment to bestow poseys on someone special from time to time. In my mind it's a civilized thing to do.

Happy Bring Flowers to Someone Day !
