The flowers were delivered early in the morning. He still remembered my favourites I could
see. The beautiful orange sepals of the bird
of paradise stood out drawing attention to their beauty. The dazzling purple irises bringing back
memories of happier times and there was a peace lily thrown in too.
Then my eyes fell on the neatly stacked boxes lined up
against the wall and interrupted the trip down the sentimental memory lane.
My lips flickered in a wry smile. I wonder if he knew that the Strelitzia is considered
to be a symbol of faithfulness, love, and thoughtfulness.

Initially I was lacking inspiration this week. Floral intents and purposes it really felt nipped in the bud. Sometimes a photo can put you in that orchid position. But I've got one in now, not taking a leaf of absence

Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteNice story, but your epilogue blossomed into a sweet bouquet. The pun-gent aroma was a sweet non-scents that was fun to read.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle, I’m lavender comments that you wrote.
DeleteMan, I love that song... hadn't heard it in eons...
ReplyDeleteAs for the story and epilogue...I cannot top Rochelle's comment!
Thanks Dale, I think flowery prose is possible if you use a lily bit of imagination.
DeleteThanks for the link. I did not know about this.
ReplyDeleteThanks YS. Friday Fictioneers can be educational too ;-)
DeleteNo, that relationship has run its course. It was just a token gesture to help him feel better about himself.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely true. Thanks for reading and commenting Penny.
DeleteThe title is so very fitting for your story. Well done
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia I am glad you picked up on the title.
DeleteShe's better off just moving on with her life - as she seems to be doing quite well! No bunch of flowers will make up for what he's done, I'm guessing. Nice tale
ReplyDeleteNot even all the flowers in the world. Thanks for your comments Lynn, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteYou've gotta be careful with flowers - they all seem to have some hidden meaning :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah probably stick with cauliflowers instead. Thanks for reading and commenting Alistair.
DeleteHa ha - brilliant
ReplyDeleteThanks Bettina
DeleteThis is great, lovely idea to take the meaning of flowers into it. The MC will still enjoy the flowers for their beauty. Fun epilogue too. --Gah Learner
