Who doesn’t like flowers? I am afraid there won’t be a single body that would dislike a fine looking, delicate misty flower. Some smell divine, some may not…& there’s such an array of beautiful flowers all across that looking at them ardently itself is such a mystifying joy.
Most commonly rose is everyone’s favourite, but I love the pure, fresh, white and intoxicating tuberose, also known as “rajanigandha”, meaning “scent of the night”. Pansies, Orchids, Marigolds, Carnations, Daisies, Daffodils, Lilies, Tulips, Sunflowers, are some of the other beautiful and effervescent, fragrant blossoms that stand out exquisite and remain irresistible definitely for many of us.
However one must be careful while selecting flowers to give away, as specific flowers…their colors, hold some significance behind it and the belief may differ from region to region. For instance…Rose as known to all is a symbol of love while recently I learnt traditionally in Hawaii, tuberose is used to create Leis, and was considered as funeral flower in Victorian times. (Ref: Wiki) …Phhhhew …must say quite a contrast…!

First.
And I love Orchids and Lilies..
Actually the wifey likes them and get it for her..
So…
There used to be a flower market on my way to college and bk home. It ws a daily routine for me to walk by that, take in the colours, smell as much as I want and then catch the bus. They r such beautiful gifts of nature na
you bet sweeety:) …
I love that Rajnigandha smell! They have planted a few here near my apt in Singapore and when I walk past it at night, the smell is intoxicating indeed. a slight breeze and the smell wafts throughout the neighborhood.
Can’t believe a coincidence…just a while ago I browsed ur webage
!!!
…take care!!
Anyway wishing you a speedy recovery
A poet, I am not. If I were to be one, I’d be camped beneath the flowers on the trees, home to birds and the bees, complete, with myself, at peace. What would this planet be? Without these ingredients of life to make it so liveable? I sometimes dread that we are on the way to make it worse, before she (Earth) repairs herself, how much are we going to strip her bare? Should we not really care?
wow… that was beautiful
…in fact terrific and so true 
am glad you chose this space to share it
Thanks Dew! I saw your comment, thanks for your concern and the bunch of flowers! I am well now but it was a bad flu bug (there isn’t any good ones out there right!) and got me down for nearly a week.
BTW I microblog on twitter and on it everyday, even when I’m sick, one way of knowing what I am doing (if anything) and also see what I am following! In case ur on twitter, look me up, my twitter handle: airplanetalk
Have a great Sunday!
Am glad you recovering…
