There was a wedding next door yesterday. Being a florist, it was easy to decide what to give - FLOWERS, of course. I set out to find fresh flowers in our little town and returned with a beautiful orchid, which I then creatively re-potted into a glass container and adorned with decorative sand. I added a nice card and was ready to drop it off next door when it hit me: Maybe I need to find out first, IF it was appropriate to give flowers as a wedding present and more importantly which ones. As I found out there are many superstitions and feelings connected to certain types of flowers. I learned a lot from this interesting article. Bottom line: No matter the type or event, it is always a pleasure to receive un mazzo di fiori, a bunch of flowers, but the right one!
