Now, flowers are a beautiful gift for people, obviously Valentine's Day,
Mother's Date. It does feel like it's more of a
female gift. You know, you used to give flowers to
your partner or hever't want to work. We were talking
yesterday about a boss who bought flowers for his receptionist
just because, and there's a thirty year age difference. She's
got a bit of a crush on him because he
keeps on being your flowers pretty much, just because if

(00:22):
I receive flowers from someone a guy, just because I
don't think that would give a great impression to my husband. No,
I don't understand. I don't think. I don't think you can.
Flowers are just something you cannot gift to the opposite
sex if you're not in a relationship. Yeah, sympathy maybe, yes, possibly,

good me. Roses completely different though it doesn't matter the
color very romantic, yes, so we would not reaction. We
