The story of the orchids

Flowers

The other day I was buying a few essentials at my local deli. It was a Saturday morning, a beautiful day outside and I had all the time in the world.

I mooched along the aisles selecting a yummy thing there and a gorgeous thing here and ended up at the checkout with a bigger basket than I expected.

The check out is right near the most beautiful flower display and of course it was chockablock with roses and chrysanthemums – Mothers’ Day next weekend.

Well I thought, I’m a mother aren’t I?

And I love fresh flowers in my house.

I know there are those of you who prefer the living variety.

Well good on you.

They are nice as well but a bunch of flowers brings joy to my heart.

So bugger it, I thought, I’m going to splurge.

Ahhh but what to buy?

Do I get roses or orchids or chryssies…. I asked the girl who said the orchids last the longest.

(incidentally they were also 3 bucks cheaper)

So I bought orchids.

Are these a gift?

The girl gave me a four dollar discount.

So I should feel good right?

Lovely flowers, a discount… what more could I ask for?

Well here’s the thing.

As I walked my way back up the hill the niggles started.

Why did she give me a discount?

She’d just told me the orchids would last longer… were they old orchids?

Did I buy dud flowers?

Now you’re probably reading this thinking – is she mad? Go and have some St John’s Wort IMMEDIATELY!

And by the time I turned the corner into my street I was thinking the same thing.

The flowers are beautiful.

They fill my heart with joy when I see them.

And I will NOT look a gift horse in the mouth but say yes to the universe when fortune favours me.

Yes please!

One thought on “The story of the orchids”

  1. Nice display. I’ve never been good at arranging flowers, I just plonk them in a suitably sized whatever is handy and put them as far away from me as possible. Because I have allergies. I rarely buy myself flowers and only have them when someone gifts me a bunch. I do grow stuff outside, but don’t have them in the house.
