I’m one of those people who adore flowers. I have my yard full of them and I love the fact that I can have fully blooming, colorful flowers in my yard all year around here in Florida. I have amazing silk flowers inside all over the place. I love the smell of flowers, the colors, the silky feel of the petals and even the vibe they put off.

I have a very good friend who owns a chain of florist shops in Knoxville with her family and I make her describe in detail what it feels like to go to the annual flower shows in Vegas, to be surrounded by so many flowers.

I love love love fresh cut flowers. Some people may think sending flowers is outdated, but let me tell you that I cannot think of a single female I know that is not absolutely charmed by a flower delivery. I even love it when my daughter picks flowers out in the back yard and makes me a little fresh arrangement.

Although I will be thrilled with any flowers given to me, I am partial to bouquets that are primary white or pink. Since today is the very last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I think Pink is the appropriate color to consider. I found this pink arrangement (the one at the top of this column) on Proflowers.com and they are donating 10% to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and breast cancer research.
