A Corny Valentine's Poem to go with the potted plant Roses are Red But they won't last So, I got Calli Lilies A blast from our past They've not been cut They're still alive And if care is taken Long will they thrive Have no fear. I won't inflict this little verse on my missus. It just kept running through my head and I needed to write it out of my mind.

That's a nice short poem. But love should be shared everyday and not once a year.

Sometimes that's what you need to do - write these things out of our mind. We call the white calla lily 'Arum lilies' and they are a curse in the wetter areas of our south-west. However, they do look very pretty in the paddocks.

K's bouquet flower was calla lilies at our wedding. She's always loved them.

As far as cut flowers are concerned, I think carnations last the longest. I bought a bouquet of mixed flowers which included daisies and 3 red roses. It was senior's discount day at the store I shopped at yesterday so I didn't have to pay full price.

Lilies are nice also. The prices of flowers are crazy now a days my boyfriend looked up the price of a dozen roses they want $80 crazy.

I'd say share it. Whenever I have something that comes to mind, write it I do, and my wife mostly enjoys it. Even when it is political commentary. Which would be weird to put on her flowers of course. lol Republicans have red states and Democrats have blue. I got these cheap flowers at Dollar General for you. I'd have gotten a dozen roses, or something better than these. But Biden ruined the economy, and cash strapped me to my knees. But still my lovely dear, I hope you like them just as well, Cheap as they were, they were still expensive as hell.
