It is that time of year again, gentlemen - the time when florists rake in most of their profits to keep them in business for the year.
I just returned from ordering a dozen roses to be delivered to my wife this February 14. I thought I would be ready for the price. Nope. I still am shaking.
Oh, well. She loves getting them.
When I got back to the office, though, I got an email from a colleague about a poll in which women stated they thought a bouquet of wild flowers picked by their date's own hand was far more romantic for Valentine's Day than professionally arranged, cut flowers.
I can't win. Now can someone tell me where exactly wild flowers grow in the US in mid-February?
