Once upon a time, if a man were going to get a lady flowers, there was a strict protocol for what kind of flowers he should get her, depending on what kind of relationship they had. Does anyone have any information on this?
Obviously, red roses mean “I love you.”
Yellow roses mean “friendship,” or possibly “I’m from Texas.”
White roses? Pink roses? Other kinds of flowers? I remember the scene from “The Age of Innocence,” with Daniel Day-Lewis being careful to consult a little book when buying flowers for his fiance. Wish I could find something like that, just out of curiosity.
Cecil knows this because the grateful millions are always sending him flowers. I send my girlfriends red roses at work and other colors at home. If it gets too expensive, I send carnations. Ex girlfriends get ragweed or Poison Ivy, but the florist won’t make those arrangements up for me.
Of course, I’m sure the answer from a female perspective is right under my nose, so to speak. I don’t mean to imply that the females on the SD Science Advisory Board don’t get roses. Not for a minute. Men LOVE women with intelligence. As long as they don’t take too long to get undressed. (chuckle)
