i'm not the biggest fan of


red roses

 i certainly won't turn them away..... but they seem somewhat trite to me....
i always say if you go rose, go short, uniquely colored, and clustered... 
giant, long-stemmed, baby's breathed, over-priced, monsters scare me. 

but  i prefer

peonies


and orchids

cupid, are you listening?

Peonies are my favorite too. And ranunculus. Lovely!

Peonies! They're one of my favorites but I've never had some, ever. I should send a blog hint myself.

I agree with you 100%. I worked at a florist just out of high school, and whenever guys would come to get flowers for a date, etc. and try to get red roses, I would always try to persuade them to be more interesting.

Oooo! I LOVE peonies! We have pink and white ones in our garden and I look forward to their blooms every year.
