Women love flowers.
Recently I watched a documentary on plants called the Botany of Desire and one chapter was about the flower industry and the pure decadence and non-utility of it. Yet breeding, growing, and selling flowers remains a huge money-making industry! Weather that is due to the fashion of the time, or romanticism in general, who knows… but I have been thinking a lot about flowers and I thought I would share a little survey of floral delights…
