florists

It must have been a rather large bouquet if you where able to fill a few smaller vases.there must be many ladies who would love to be given flowers what ever the variety.

I always thought mixed bunches are made up of the odd left overs. Recently this was confirmed by someone who used to work in a florist.
I also hate it when they’re padded out with twiggy leaves.

I secretly agree with you jeanrobinson

I have not had that experience jeanrobinson of receiving a mixed bunch of horrid flowers from a Florist. Yes it was kind of your Son and that is the spirit in which I would receive them. A gift is a gift even if it is not always to our taste.

What were the flowers and colours jeanrobinson?

I guess it is a matter of taste, they must be using the most popular combinations!

Perhaps mention to DS that you are so grateful for the bouquet, that your favourite flowers/colours are such and such and perhaps he could preorder the next one?

I do find with the average male family member, that specific instructions are probably needed re gifts!
