When to Buy Flowers? Isn’t it Obvious? Always.
 by Hilary L
Flowers have been used to congratulate, commemorate and console people on every conceivable occasion. Since the dawn of man, flowers have been universally recognized as symbols of love and esteem. These days, it seems that one needs only the flimsiest of excuses to buy flowers. Here are our favorite reasons.
Congratulations
The birth of a baby, a first Communion or a Bat Mitzvah all demand a gift of flowers. Other, less universal occasions that will engender cries of joy from the recipient include prom night, graduation and opening night on Broadway. It does not matter how mundane or glamorous the event, a gift of flowers touches the heart.
Commemorations
Do not let anyone tell you otherwise, gentlemen, every woman loves to receive flowers. Every anniversary gift from the ubiquitous chocolates to a diamond-studded tennis bracelet benefits from the thoughtfulness of buying flowers. Holidays are warmed and perfumed by their sight and aroma. Flowers are doubly important as they make memories with the giving and then, in future years evoke those very same memories.
Consolations
Life is not always roses and yet flowers still have something to say. Nothing can really be said upon the passing of a close friend or loved one. Flowers speak when nothing else will. A gift of life in the midst of death is a blessing to all involved. Flowers heal all wounds, even the big ones.
Every Day
"Expect the unexpected” is a saying that few people take to heart. Most people live their life with little change from one day to the next. Fortunately, this fact is to your advantage. Take the opportunity to buy flowers on any day that is not "special" and give them to someone you love: a daughter, a wife, or a mother. The rewards are immediate and dramatic. Buy flowers today.
