If you wish to make
a love declaration,
make it a spectacular
and special occasion.

Say it with flowers.
A rose, or a carnation
will resoundingly tell 
of your fascination.

Do not be too timid
and make it your duty
to send her an orchid
to speak of her beauty.

Floriography conveys
feelings of emotion.
Maybe as a celebration
for a job promotion,

to express admiration 
for a sporting success
or commiseration with
someone in distress.

The language of flowers,
full of subtle  nuances,
is the favourite method
of nurturing romances.

Lovely, Luigi. Those blooms that say so much when we struggle to find the words.

Nice hearing from you, Jane.  A bouquet of flowers goes a long way to overcome one's shyness and a much better way to convey one's feelings than sending a text message. Pleased that you enjoyed reading this efort of mine.

I could never understand what it is with women and flowers but they love them.

Cheers Luigi! Tom
