Flowers

Flowers
Bring Life To Your Home


Use silk and/or fresh flowers to add color, vibrancy and life to a room and place the flowers in a beautiful vase or jug.
Not everyone has the same taste in flowers. Yet everyone gives and receives them from time to time- a bouquet to show appreciation for services rendered, some roses in thanks for a dinner invitation, violets as a sign of friendship, lilacs to suggest budding love, floral arrangements for festive occasions.
Giving flowers is not only the most popular way to express a desire to please, it is the surest way to succeed. What other gift is so likely to be understood and even appreciated in even the most sensitive circumstances?
There in lies the true virtue and perhaps power of flowers- a pretty bouquet can say it all, congratulations and condolences, appreciation and respect, or deep attachment and true affection extending as far as love, for which flowers are known to work wonders. When it comes to love, flowers are not a small affair.
As Valentine's day approaches, hordes of lovers are stirred and armies of florists storm flower markets in every major city of the world. Women are delighted by a gift of flowers, claiming to prefer it to any other present, far ahead of dainty lingerie or chocolate. Not only are women the first to receive flowers, they are first to buy them.
Above all, however, women buy flowers for themselves, for their home.
