For almost an entire year in the courting phase, my now husband sent me flowers or chocolates - sometimes both - at least once a week.
You have to admit there's something special about fresh flowers, such delicate beauty. Look a this bloom I photographed on my walk today. It's hard to imagine anything man has made that could match this.
Anyway when we became engaged I suggested that in an effort to save money for a wedding, honeymoon and home we really should drop such extravagance.
So he stopped saying it with flowers. Now I get flowers on Mother's Day or Valentine's Day or other special occasions such as when the supermarket markdown person has been particularly active.
Romance is not dead it's just a bit wilted and comes with a 20% off sticker.
Like I said, I only have myself to blame and to be honest you really do appreciate that little gesture when it arrives not regularly but when you least expect it. That's blooming marvellous.
Lovely capture!
