But I did buy her these last Sunday. They're oriental lilies, I used to grow them but somehow I wasn't able to keep them from dying! These are long lasting and have very strong perfume so its good value for money...there I go again with money!
The problem with these flowers is that they drip sticky liquid down on to the table from the stamen and the powdery pollens fall everywhere as well so can be quite a nuisance sometimes.
Some people cut off the stamen to avoid this problem but I think that would ruin the beauty of the flower don't you agree? I just put up with the problem and enjoy the fragrance and beauty of this wonderful flowers, they last a long time and it's been nearly a week and they're still going strong. Have a good weekend everyone!

The lilies are gorgeous!
I usually discourage King from buying me flowers. I think it's such a waste of money lah. But hey, it works just as well even if they are from the backyard. Even more romantic..
I agree about not cutting off the stamen.
I so love flowers. I would ask for no presents as long as there are fresh flowers for me. Backyard or otherwise.
hei bro,
how is it that i have been coming for the past 4 days and all i see is your
"mooncake post", so i thought you were on holiday or something.
but today i see you have been posting all this while. ???
Lucky u no cut the stamen and its sticky liquid. Or else the flowers become pondan, then how? But wait, stamen is a female thingie? Never mind, ask Cikgu STP to give biologi lesson. Die, people see flower = pretty, I see flower = sex organs.
Flowers from the backyard is fresher! - and FREE!
STP: no dirty thoughts please!
ah nel: flower sperm? rub on ur face? yuck! u r worse than suituapui!
king's wife: yes, once in a while is ok..besides, during the warmer months i have plenty in the backyard to keep her happy!
lil' joy: i can never understand how women find flowers so irressitible..
ah pek: u must be using firefox, it tends to use its cache until u refresh it.
5xmom: wait a minute..i thot flowers have both male & female parts, no? no need to ask stp lah, he's an engrish teacher, not biology teacher lah!
neo: right on!
Flowers from your backyard is not kiamsiap lah. You took the trouble to grow them remember?
So I think the missus would appreciate them more.
Next time follow my style lah...buy plastic flowers. Can use for many years. LOL
cocka: thank you for your tip! i will do as u suggested!
Oh yeah I don't really like that sticky thing too. That's why I seldom buy these kind of flowers. Buy yeah the smell is really wonderful.
Gosh! 5XMOM so deprived these days!!! Having hallucinations already! ATM rosak or on strike??? Ha ha ha ha ha!
Flowers is women's weakness! Did I hear the word Foochow?O_o
che-cheh: get chester to lick clean the liquid! hehehe
STP: 5xmom oso miang miang keladi like u now! u r bad influence!
hijackqueen: wuah! u foochow also ah? the world is full of us!
SA: u sure u dun wanna know?
I've seen my florist actually wiping the stamen and removing the pollen so that it wouldn't have any more "sticky" liquid and the pollen dust wouldn't fly around and cause people to sneeze
QV: wuah! u get ur own personal florist kah? & ur own tailor, cook, personal assistant, gardener, etc, etc..
