SENDING FLOWERS? HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS!

When a man wants to send you flowers, always say, ‘My florist is Cartier.’ - Geramine Mitzaah Bricard

Therefore, I believe Bricard was suggesting she wanted something like this rather than cut flowers.

While we do not pick flowers from nature as we do not want to hurt their natural environment for reseeding, nor from public gardens that are intended for the joy of the public, it is still classy to cut flowers from one's own garden and present them in a  bouquet. Set the flowers down in a jar of water and wrap it in decorative paper, or perhaps a quarter yard of fabric - even a cotton handkerchief will do.  Add a small note.

Flowers, gifts, and cards that go unsigned or come from a mystery or anonymous person are now considered to be creepy and undesireable.

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT YOU RECEIVED FLOWERS? WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU SENT SOME?

VIOLETS FOR THE WIFE ROSES FOR THE MISTRESS

The owner of a flower shop told me that on Fridays the Mexican men were buying violets for their wives, but also roses for their mistresses. Now to me that means, the violets for the sentimental love, but the roses are for the real love of the moment (if not the real love of his life!)

Do all Mexican men have mistresses? Probably not. It takes more than charm to have a mistress - and keep her.
