I am half owner of a floral shop (no wise cracks - I ain't gay).
I don't listen to women's complaints when it comes to flowers. They're always wrong. A man can send a woman a $120 arraignment with 18 red roses and she'll find something to complain about it.
In fact, the way a woman responds to flowers is the biggest red flag I know of about what her character is really like. If she doesn't appreciate a $30 arraignment and be grateful, she won't be grateful for anything.
That particular kind of unpleasant ungrateful woman also seems to think if they don't like the arraignment, I'm supposed to send them another arraignment...and they think they're supposed to keep the first one. I never send out another arraignment and I've demanded the first back at the threat of small-claims court (they think they're supposed to get their money back from FTD or Bloomnet or Telefora and still keep the arraignment).
Any man who sends a woman 12 to 18 red roses (roses are the most expensive flowers) is a fool.

Also, black or dark navy blue gabardine wool suits

I've got that suit in midnight blue, size 56 short, red hair, one eye and a hare-lip.
It ain't working, maybe a hat...

If you will send me the url for it in a pm I will see what I can do with it. No promises but I might be able to fix it.

Glad you liked the one I posted. In the meantime, here is a blue rose you might like.

The wife wanted blue annuals planted out front of her house last spring. Evidently blue flowers are pure unobtainium. I couldn't find anything.

I had a rose bush one time that produced blue roses (not a deep blue but blue nevertheless). Bloomed for one or two seasons and then died I think. It is HARD to grow blue roses.

I look at appearance in men as one of my main priorities in that I prefer they are clean shaven, smelling clean and fairly well-dressed. But I'm not looking for some guy who can drive me crazy with a big stick. I prefer a man with high intelligence, educated, cultured, and sensible ability to manage his finances.

That field reminds me of nicest bouquet I ever bought for wife. It was 12 red roses, 12 irises and baby's breath.

That is a lot of money.

blue roses

I have never seen a blue rose and did not know they existed.
However, if you can breed a black rose you will be a multimillionaire.

They do exist although the ones you might see with a deep blue color have been dyed. I don't know of any that exist in nature that are a true, deep blue. The blue roses that I had were a very light blue and they only grew for one or two seasons.

I deal with a nation-wide floral supply house and have never seen a blue rose, ever. I honestly did not know they existed. All black roses, however, are dyed. What most people perceive as black roses are just very dark roses, very dark red, sometimes with food coloring in the water (the flowers will actually suck it up and change color a little bit).
As I said, if anyone can breed a black rose they will be multimillionaires. There is a lot of symbolism to black roses and none of it is good.
There are flowers that are horrendously expensive. I've never dealt with them or seen them. But you're talking about an arraignment that can cost several hundred dollars, and it wouldn't be any bigger than a normal arraignment.

This is a saffron crocus. They don't exist in the wild. I have never seen one and never will. One flower cost hundreds of dollars.
