Flowers

So this post is all about flowers.

I guess you can say I’m back in the flower buying/giving game. And little did I know that this game has rules. For example go here.

Which got me thinking who why did they got to choose these meanings?

For example lets take the dandelion, it looks like a flower (I know it’s a weed but still it looks like a flower), who got to decide it was a weed in the first place?

Well if I was in charge of what flowers meant this is how it would work.
1. We would take apart the word. Lets break it into two words, Dandy-Lion.
2. Dandy means: something or someone of exceptional or first-rate quality.
3. And lion: (as an adjective) a person of great importance, influence, charm, etc., who is much admired as a celebrity
4. So if we put them together we get: A first rate person of great importance.

I like it. (and this does NOT mean that I will give some dandelions)

p.s. I guess giving a dandelion means: Wishes come true. (how lame is that?)


With this whole flower thing I envision something like the N.W.A (hot fuzz anyone?), a creepy secret society of old people who rule the flower industry who let nothing or anyone stand in their way.
