Aren't you excited for warm sunny days and spring flowers?
Speaking of I love these fresh flowers, they really do lift spirits and definitely help brighten my mood.
I'd love to have these flower photos hang around my house with beautiful frames.
Say it with flowers. Sending flowers tell our loved ones, friends,
family how much we care about them. Flowers can also convey
such a wide range of emotions.
such a wide range of emotions.
Think about it. One day. Unexpectedly. A big bunch of pretty flowers shows up on your doorstep.
Suddenly, you realize that someone is thinking of you!
Suddenly, you realize that someone is thinking of you!
What a special feeling! Flowers say it all.
...and remember. When nothing else will due say it with flowers.
I do love to get flowers, but I have never sent a man flowers.
I wouldn't think of giving flowers to any man. At least so far!
Would you ever send a man flowers? Would men really appreciate
getting flowers from us?
What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear. xx

Can't say I've ever considered giving flowers to a man.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like to see them growing, they last longer. Once picked, they wither and die. I hate to watch them die.
Αγαπημένη μου Μπέττυ
ReplyDeleteΠολύ ωραίες οι φωτογραφίες σου και τα όμορφα λόγια σου!
Έχω δεχθεί πολλές φορές λουλούδια, από τον άντρα μου,από τα παιδιά μου, από φίλες, αλλά επισήμως δεν έστειλα ποτέ σε άντρα. Πολλές φορές στην γιορτή ή στα γενέθλια του συζύγου μου, βγαίνω στον κήπο , κόβω ένα τριαντάφυλλο και του το προσφέρω.
Ωραίες χειρονομίες, ομορφαίνουν την ζωή μας!
Πολλά φιλάκια
Beautiful pictures of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Betty!

ms.a, couldn't agree more! :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers sometimes speak better than us! And I have already offered flowers to a man, as a sign of welcome, he was very touched!
ReplyDeleteNice day to you!
I don't think men would appreciate them as much as we do.
ReplyDeletethey'd prefer and smooch or a shag I'm sure.
May your life be filled with flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is allergic, so he wouldn't appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI once gave a man flowers as thanx for doing me a favour - he didn't quite know what to make of it, but liked the gesture!!
ReplyDeleteUnusual OZ wildflowers are a great choice as they're unisex - and last a long time!!
I love spring flowers!Unfortunately I haven't garden in order to grow them.
ReplyDeleteOnly men should send flowers to women.
For me, nothing says 'I love you' like the delivery of a brown box from my favorite nurseries. :)
ReplyDeleteI've picked flowers for my husband many times. :)
ReplyDeletei sent a bouquet to my husband once. but only once.
ReplyDeleteNo, I probably wouldn't send a man flowers. I might buy him a tree or something like that, but not a bouquet.
ReplyDeletemy two sons and my hubby would really hate getting flowers, not sure about others but my dad would have had a fit. i would not waste my money on flowers for my men.
ReplyDeleteIt would never cross my mind to send a fella a bouquet.
ReplyDeleteOh, those pics are very beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh, those pics are very beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI've never sent a man flowers. I know my hubby wouldn't care for them and, since I'm married, what other man would I send them too? Lol!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures--you've made my morning coffee time that much more pleasant :)
Hello Betty
ReplyDeleteagain lovely flowers with nice colors....well done.
warm greetings, Joop
something magical about this time of year...lovely photos my friend
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers...I don't think I ever sent him flowers. I am not sure he would really appreciate it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteVery romantic and so apt for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I've ever given a man flowers or chocolates come to that. That said I did once make Husband dearest a daisy chain, does that count?
You must live somewhere where it is warm and the flowers are growing. I'm in the Pacific NW and it's been cold and rainy and not much is blooming yet. It's fun to see your photographs and dream . . . Thanks for sharing them.

I love all these cheery flowers,just perfect for the rainy day we are having here.I would never have thought to send flowers to my husband,as he would have considered that a waste of money.He was the most loving man I know,but did not send flowers.He showed his love and romance in so many other ways,I didn't even miss the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely images make me long for warm summer days in the garden. I've never sent flowers to a man either. My husband received flowers at his retirement and he loves them but also loves for me to care for them. ;)
ReplyDeleteNice photos! Thanks for linking up! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, Gorgeous flowers... They always make a person SMILE.... I seldom buy flowers though since we have a yard full of them (thanks be to God)....
ReplyDeleteMy man loves flowers (especially Roses) --but don't think he'd appreciate getting some as a gift or thought... He loves to GIVE them to me...
Hugs,
Betsy
Fresh flowers can be very uplifting! One of my children gave me a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day that I'm still enjoying.
ReplyDeleteI've never given my husband (or any man) flowers, but I think he would like to get a flowering plant that he could put in our yard. He often gives me things like that rather than fresh cut flowers.
I'm more of a card person. I think flowers cost too much. Especially because they are going to die soon.
ReplyDeleteI do think they are beautiful though...
Nice pics Betty!
I think men would prefer manly things and not girly ones.
ReplyDeleteBtw those flower photos are really stunning!;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers from your camera,
ReplyDeletemy dear Betty!
And a good question too.
No, I would not think to offer flowers as a gift or gesture to a man...
And from the other hand, really why not?
Anyway, I love that your posts are
always very interesting!!
Send you my love!!!!!!
I've sent flowers to my hubs!
ReplyDeleteI gave flowers to a boyfriend once. I'm not sure he enjoyed them as much I did.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful as always!
These are beautiful flowers, and they do deserve a frame on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI try to bring in a rose bud for Betsy each day.
I think that men don't want flowers as a present, but, they are into growing them. They love them to grow, and handle gently.
ReplyDeleteHm, I think I WOULD give a man flowers, if I picked the right one, he would thoroughly appreciate them:-) for instance, my husband of 30 years "appreciated" the Snickers bar I brought him whenever I went to the store for 20+ years. FINALLY, one of my sons asked him, Dad, do you LIKE Snickers bars? He said "no" son asked "well why do you keep eating them?" "because she keeps buying them!"
ReplyDeleteYour pictures, as always are stunning my friend!
I LOVE getting flowers, but unfortunately, my husband doesn't give them too often! I wouldn't consider giving HIM any based on that fact! I guess it would depend on the man!
ReplyDeleteYour photos and flowers are just lovely. I can't say that I've ever given a man flowers but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't. Mostly likely I'd get a flowering plant.. something he could nurture and watch grow, rather than just look at for a few days. :)
ReplyDeletesandra, i totally understand what you mean. i think men would not really appreciate flowers, they'd rather have a new tie or toolbox! :)
ReplyDeleteReal flower power.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, with an interesting texture and color. Arouse pleasant sensations. Very poetic.
ReplyDeletekimberly, lol! anonymous, thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. Good regists
ReplyDeleteThose colors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have given flowers to a man before, and it was a waste of money.

My husband loves gardening so I'm sure he would love receiving flowers. Perhaps, I'll send him some. Thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm very old-fashioned, I have to admit! So, I would never ever give a man flowers. Now, I don't mind receiving them, anytime!!! My husband comes home every Friday with a lovely bouquet of flowers for me... and it is my moment of highest joy when I see his face with the flowers tucked in his arms and he's smiling at me. Oh, joy!
ReplyDeleteYes, my dearest... you're so very right. Flowers do say it... in more ways than one!
I love every single one of your beautiful photographs... and I send you a huge bouquet of flowers!
Big hugs,
Nevine
Gorgeous flowers! What a great question...I haven't given a man flowers yet...maybe it depends on the man...and perhaps a flowering plant rather than cut flowers if he likes to garden.
ReplyDeleteP.S. While I was typing this comment the doorbell rang -- a florist with a bouquet for my neighbor lady! :)
simply awesome flowers!
ReplyDeletethank you for the flowers!

Good series, with some photos very light and very colorful. 've portrayed all the power and beauty of spring.
ReplyDeleteGreetings .-
I got roses from my staff last Valentine's day. First time for me to receive flowers (coz my girlfriend usually sends me books). Felt happy receiving it (I must admit I blushed. Haha).
ReplyDelete...and flowers in the house take away sickness too. That was my mom told me, and I guess it's true because seeing it lifts our spirits.
Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely pictures....my friend once sent her husband a bouquet of chocolate flowers, he loved it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThx for visiting my blog....have a great day!!
I have given men flowers and they were well received. I take them as a hostess gift often but choose carefully when my 'hostess' is male
ReplyDeleteHi Betty,
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my sweet shot. Looks like you like to take pictures of flowers as well. Your photos are equally as lovely.
And to answer your question, yes, I have sent a man flowers before...LOL, my husband for our anniversary. Roses at that.
Hi Betty :)
ReplyDeleteBeeeeutiful flower photos, my dear!! Nothing better then light pink geraniums and snapdragons in the springtime! I loved wondering around your blog, and especially enjoyed your trip to London...what fun that must have been! Your architechtural photos are really very good. How exciting that must have been. I look forward to future visits here. :)
Men and flowers? Nope. I find they consider flowers a waste because they "simply die after spending all that money" (outwardly). Inwardly, I think they might appreciate the attention of a single rose ...something minimal. :) My hubby gets glowered at with every birthday...I never get flowers, so I must grow my own. He's militant that they are a waste of money - he is SUCH a sentimental soul. ha.
Thanks for your kind comment and dropping by my Cottage today!
love,
Sherilyn Koss at Clear Crick Cottage

Olá, amiga!
ReplyDeleteAmei ver flores tão suaves, coloridas e bonitas. Adoro flores no jardim. Gosto de plantá-las e de cuidar delas.
Tenha uma linda noite!
Beijinhos.

Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots, Betty - what a variety, and great colours !
ReplyDeleteYou're right that flowers can say it all, but maybe more so for a woman than a man. Can't say I've ever received any so not sure what I'd think - I prefer seeing them in the wild, or in the garden.
Have a great rest-of-the-week !
aw, nevine, that's so sweet! :)thank you!!
ReplyDeletepetty witter, how lovely!!
ReplyDeleteAs a man I must admit, I'd prefer it if you sent me a box of chocolates rather than flowers. Mmmm chocolates.
ReplyDeleteOf course you can send a man flowers. But I prefer to give books.
ReplyDeleteYour shots are wonderful!
Congratulations, Betty, for these nice photographies full of precious tonalities and natural beauty.
ReplyDeleteA cordial greeting.
Ramon
I don't think men appreciate them as much as we do. Or do they? There is a saying in France that any man carrying flowers is handsome (I agree with that!).
ReplyDeleteOnce I sent a man flowers. I was fifteen and he was sixteen. He remembers about it after thirty years. Beautiful photos, by the way:)
ReplyDeleteYes, they're brightening my mood too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Simple Pleasures today. Flowers are always welcome. I'm a flower chick, for sure. They always make the day better and, good thing for me, The Man often brings them home for no reason. As for giving a man flowers, I never have and don't plan to, but hey ... whatever floats your boat, huh?
ReplyDeleteI really love flowers, they make me happy!
ReplyDeleteI've given men flowers... but on the whole, I prefer to give books.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots!
I love fresh flowers. They make me happy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog! Feel free to stop by and follow me back at www.ageekswifeandherdog.com as well as link up with Friendly Friday Follow
ReplyDeleteYou have some great photos here. You can almost feel and smell them. You friends comments about cover it. I like and grow flowers, but am not serious about how my house looks and flowers would be lost in the rubble. For the money other gitfs would be better, maybe food or a DVD/blueray. I think I will watch Beowulf this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Betty! I never realised how hard it was to photograph flowers, so I appreciate your great shots!
ReplyDeleteI have never sent Ste flowers, I buy him biltong (South African dried beef) when I want to spoil him.
Beautiful colors! So vibrant and bright.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Following you. Thanks for all the beauty!!!
ReplyDeleteMen consider flowers a waste of money. Yup. I just know it!
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are very, very lovely!
:-)
Preciosas fotografías de estas flores. Mis felicitaciones.
