Flowers Of The
Month
Flowers Of The
Month Information
We have a friend that was a confirmed bachelor. He owned a home
on a lake and lived by himself. He loves to fish and hunt and so
his setting was perfect. He would come home from work and would
spend the evenings fishing. In the fall of the year he would go
goose and duck hunting every day of the season. Then he met the
woman that he is now married to. He went from being single for 43
years to having a wife 2 step children three step grandchildren and
a daughter of his own. He is a changed man.
He is a very nice person, but having lived by himself for so
many years he was quite centered on himself. He would not shop for
holiday or birthday gifts for others. I was very surprised when we
went to visit and there was a bouquet of anniversary flowers on the
table. They had been married for 14 months at the time. His wife
told me that she has received a bouquet of the flowers of the month each month since they were
married. She stated that on their first month of marriage she found
out that she was pregnant. She had stopped at his work place to
tell him this on her way back from the doctor’s office. Later that
afternoon the first bouquet from flowersofthemonth arrived at her
desk at the bank where she works. She thought this was so special
and thoughtful.
Flowers Of The
Month - Tips and Advice
She was shocked when on the same day the next month the
flowersofthemonth arrived again. They live in the small community
where he grew up. It is a rural farming community and so everyone
knows everyone else. One day the florist stopped at the bank. She
noticed the flowers and asked if our friend’s wife was enjoying her
membership in the flowers of the month club. The florist has done
this service for many of the men that live in the community. When
they order flowers she asks them if they would like her to send out
a bouquet each month. She offers different prices and keeps the
cost low by using the seasonal flowers of the month. This has
improved her business and many of the marriages in the small
town.
After our friend was married two years the small company he
worked for went out of business. There were no other jobs for him
in the small community so the couple moved to another state. They
now live in a growing suburb of a large city. We went to visit them
a few months after they had moved. On the dining room at the new
house was a bouquet of flowers. Our friend had found a florist in
the new location that provided the flowers of the month program. He
knew the flowers made his wife happy and he did not have to try to
remember the date of their anniversary. When ever I hear someone
say that people never change I tell them the story of our self
centered bachelor friend that has turned into a romantic.
