Sick of Buying Flowers? The Answer: Become a Florist.

I'd like to monologue for a few moments about the various types of flowers. Don't expect this to be scientific or knowledgeable in any way, I simply wanted to make a few points…

From this dictionary of flowers, I've learned that no matter how hard a guy might try, he will not send the right message with a bouquet when making his own selection of flowers. Men are completely dependent on the advice of the florist on duty. Meanings of flowers are so complex that it takes nothing short of a floral expert to make the right choice. Otherwise, you might drive your significant-other crazy, wondering why you love her deeply but just want to be friends (for that's what a blend of red and peach colored roses would imply).

Perhaps the biggest problem is that while you let a florist arrange the bouquet, you're also letting her decide how much you're going to spend. What is the solution, for you can't simply not buy flowers on Valentine's Day, but you also don't want to deplete your life savings annually?

Here is your answer: become a florist. Just imagine, a few months of sweet-smelling classes and you just might learn of a few cheap floral arrangements that will keep your partner happy for at least 3 months.
