well, they do mean a lot of things...
for flowers are meant to be an expression of love...
some may say "but flowers fade" and i would admit to being one of
those in the past... that was when i was younger and much more
stupid..
however now that i'm much older and marginally less stupid, flowers
mean a lot.. for if they are an expression of love, flowers are
beautiful by themselves and after a while, even when they will
fade, if properly cultivated, they will develop into more than just
prettiness, they will bring forth life which may be independent
flowers later...
so therefore, flowers are not to be given or received
lightly...
or is this old and decrepit bear thinking too much?
