Roses are red…
It’s St. Valentines Day, and countless millions bouquets of flowers and single red roses are being given to wives, partners and lovers the world around. I don’t know a chrysanthemum from a cactus, so the choice is never easy, and it just got harder.
Spotting a gap in the market, flower growers have been pushing organic roses as the ‘green’ choice for this year’s St. V. So now I’ve not only to decide how many roses, but also how they were grown.
I could choose conventionally grown roses – a bouquet grown to perfection with a little help from some pesticide. They’re roses, it’s Valentines Day… they’ll not be cheap,
Or I could opt for the organic roses – a bouquet grown to organic perfection with a little less help from pesticide. They’re roses, it’s Valentines Day, they’re organic… they’ll not be cheap.
I can’t decide.
Maybe I’ll go for the organic, there’s a better chance I’ll surprise her twice…
