Flowers...

What is the big deal about flowers?

Today I went to a florist, looked around at the arrangements, spoke to the woman behind the counter about having an arrangement that was on display with a different selection of flowers - rather than the bright yellows and reds I wanted pastel pinks and whites, she quizzed me why and I told her because it suited the person I was buying for more. Whilst I was there the woman asked if it was for a special occasion - I replied it wasn't - she looked twice at me and asked what it was for. I was a little surprised she asked but I said a friend who was going through a tough time. She smiled at me and took my money.

Did I miss something?
