I don't generally give flowers but I would only give colourful ones that I like myself and certainly never lilies. Lots of people dislike their powerful smell and they are toxic for cats as well.

I do realise that what I am going to say may gain some criticism and I need to say I am very grateful for the thought, but..
My GD's Aunt came to see her last week and she brought me flowers.
It was a kind and welcome thought ,however the "flowers" consist of those small ornamental cabbage things, I don't know what they are called.
It also includes two stalks of lillies and something else I don't recognise.
My point is I would never give them to anyone as I just don't like them.
In my opinion they are not attractive, the stalks are thick and look as if they should have Brussels sprouts attached.
I have them on display as they were kindly given.
Do you give flowers you wouldn't choose for yourself?
