“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
― Claude Monet

If you recall the first time that M sent me flowers, I felt that 1-800Flowers didn’t do a good job.  I wrote about it here: https://blessedwithastarontheforehead.com/2023/03/09/they-are-yellow-but-they-can-also-be-red-they-love-the-sun-and-they-make-my-heart-sing/ 

 On my birthday, I got to my door and there was another box from 1-800Flowers. It was a surprise as we had already celebrated my birthday. 

As I opened the box I couldn’t help but expect to see damaged flowers.  I was already thinking I would have to tell him about it, and ask him to choose another delivery place.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the flowers individually wrapped in netting.  Each flower had a straw holding it up. They were perfect!

My heart is full and happy! I am enjoying the attention and looking forward to the blossoming of this relationship.

“A flower blossoms for its own joy.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Surely the flowers of a hundred spring are simply the souls of beautiful things!”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Watchman and Other Poems

“In love, treat your relationship as if you are growing the most beautiful flower. Keep watering it, tend to its roots, give it lots of sunlight, and always make sure the petals are full of color and are never curling. Once you neglect your plant, it will die, as will your relationship.” ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
