Years ago, when I worked as a floral designer, I remember how a young man would walk in the shop and look around without a clue as to what to buy for his sweetheart. Ellen, the owner of the florist shop would ask if she could help with his purchase. If she thought the young man could not afford the $65.00 for a dozen arranged roses, she would suggest just one perfect rose.
We would carefully wrap the rose in pretty paper with greens and lots of babies breath, then tie it with a stream of colorful ribbons. Ellen would present the bouquet to the young man with a flourish and with a big wink she would say:
"You know, you can get just as much loving with one perfect rose as you can with a dozen."
Disclaimer:
Dear Readers, I cannot even imagine what she meant by this statement so you will have to use your own imaginations. I am not responsible for what you come up with! ;-)
Ellen always loved Valentine's Day!
