Flowers for Guys in Trouble

The Netherland Flower Bulb Information Center has launched a new Web guide, SavedBytheBud.com, geared toward showing guys what they "need to know to use flowers to get, keep, impress or redeem themselves with women."

The wittily written site offers advice about flower choices and includes video demos on choosing, buying, growing and caring for a variety of bulb flowers like tulips, daffodils and lilies.

Their advice to guys in the dog house is dead on:  

"When the aim is to apologize, only cut flowers will do.

Potted plants have many uses, saying you’re sorry isn’t one of them."

In my more than 30 years as a florist, I've seen a few guys in trouble opt for potted plants since they're considered more "practical." Now if your wife or girlfriend is a plant lover, potted flowers may be a good choice but fellows, the real usefulness of apology flowers is in the receiving, not the keeping. 

Do you really want a plant sitting there for months reminding her why she was mad at you in the first place?
