What do flowers signify to you?

If red roses signify maturity in romance, I would rather have a daisy chain. Roses are easily purchased full of thorns and not worth the wait. A daisy chain is picked made with intricate effort, thought, deliberate meaning and placed around the neck sensuously signifying simplicity and response of feeling. Give me the immature response every time.

Now wild roses are another subject.

Reply:Flowers represent love...not just in a romatic way, but a love for friendship and family. Like when someone gets sick you send them flowers, or someone dies you put flowers on their coffin. Just another way of saying that you care.
