Do You Buy Flowers

[bellazella]

On a regular basis

[237SJ]

Yes, since I discovered Aldi.

[starone]

Nope. But I like it when someone buys them for me.

[bellazella]

Not really, but got a couple of bunches of tulips for 50p

[starone]

(continued) But not pot plants please because I manage to kill them somehow. Can't think why, I love them to bits but they don't love me back.

[looobylooo]

I like to buy my mum flowers and often pick up a bunch for her if something nice catches my eye

[Maydup]

I stretch to a couple of bunches of daffs at this time of year and then vow to have flowers in the house more regularly. I keep it up for a few months through the summer buying seasonal things like sweet william and freesias.

I also pick a few flowers from the garden especially sweet peas when they're in bloom. I very rarely by showy flowers from the florists.

Perhaps you should do a "Prince Charles" Starbuck and talk to them nicely! :)

[ummmm]

My OH buys them for me. Not because he's romantic, he isn't!, usually because he's bought his mother a bunch. If he buys his mother a bunch, he'll buy me a bunch. I think it's a 'just in case' scenario...

[DaisyNonna]

Yes. I grow some but sometimes need a boost . Daffodils are now looking cheerful in my living room.

[Maydup]

Its good that he buy his mother a bunch and therefore you ummmm. Not many do.

[starone]

I do Ann, but they just ignore me and still die. I tell everyone I prefer to see them growing naturally, in the garden, but it would be nice to keep some going. At the moment I have two pots of small indoor roses (I love roses) which my daughter bought me for mother's day. Just picked all the dead leaves off and wondered why the roses are turning brown. My Son-in-law says I am overwatering them so I will stop for a bit and see what happens.

[Ann]

I find that indoor roses (or patio roses) don't last long indoors - maybe you could plant it outdoors after this week (going to be very cold)

[starone]

I did think about doing that Ann. I am sure they would stand more of a chance of life out there than they do with me.

[ummmm]

Yes, it's very nice. She's a lovely woman :-)

[naomi24]

I always have vases of flowers around the house.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Buy them every single week - for someone very special, although no longer with us

[commoner]

Daffodils....my BH must have daffies whenever they are around so get a 99p bunch twice a week.......other times we have flowering pot plants but no cut ones.....must admit though..daffodils are my favourite as well......

[TheOtherHalf]

I would prefer OH to buy them for me, but I do like to buy them quite regularly. I definitely buy them if we are having visitors as they look lovely in a nice clean house (only time I have a good springclean :>) I would rather have fresh flowers than houseplants all over the house.

[waterboatman]

No, I've got no-one to buy them for now. I used to.

[commoner]

Go on waterboatman ...spoil YOURSELF...as the girl on tv says.."cos I'm worth it" ;-)
