The Nice Nice Give A Flower To Someone Thread.

[Statistikhengst]

Everyone is being SOOOO good (minus the flower fight petals all over the floor. And I am sure it isn't over yet!).........you all get one of these!

Good boys and girls, whom I love very much. ....pats each one on the head and beams at them......

Delish!!!

How so? Are wild flowers not beautiful? Of are only cultivated varieties acceptable?

The wild flowers were just fine from the get go. It was a stupid line about Liberals that ruined all of your good intentions. What a shame.

Liberals don't like flowers? OK, I'll see what I can find for Conservatives, just to even things out. Sheesh...try to make nice...some people just cannot accept that.

You've decided to be deliberately dense on a thread that is non-partisan, what?

I don't know if all Liberals like flowers or not. And it's totally unimportant for a thread in the Lounge.
I also don't know if all Conservatives like flowers or not. And it's totally unimportant for a thread in the Lounge.
Which is ok, because that's not what this thread is about. It's about showing kindness toward people by sending them a flower. Here, their ideology is totally unimportant.

You do understand that simple principle, right?

This here is the lounge, leave your politics outside!

For no one in particular, just about the most interesting flower I have ever seen, also the largest and the heaviest. It's not a commentary on anyone here:

Rafflesia

Here part of the description thereof:

Rafflesia is deemed to be the largest flower specie on earth, and its homeland is the rainforests of South East Asia. Rafflesia is a very rare flower requiring a special condition of humidity and warmth for it to blossom. From a bud to become a complete flower, Refflesia needs seven to nine months and it blossoms only for 4 to 5 days.

Its powerful smell like perished meat spreads in the area when it is bloomed fully....

...Some species of Rafflesia flower could be as big as 120 cm in diameter and weigh up to 10 Kilograms.

This amazing plant has no stems, leaves or roots. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petaled flower...

... Rafflesia is classified as parasite, getting the nutrient out of its host.

Refflesia has been used in different ways by the locals. In Thailand, young buds of the flower are eaten as popular feast. In Peninsular Malaysia, Rafflesia buds are used by women to prevent internal bleeding and compress the womb after delivery. Men use it as an energy drink or as amorous remedy....

In other words, rare, stunningly beautiful, yet complex.

I bet that could apply to any of us at at least one point in time in our lives.

Reminds me of when I worked at the U of Ark radio station KUAF......the first question they ask is if I could pronounce the titles, I answered Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky

Your taste in music is superb, Moonglow.

Amazing all the things we can find in nature. Just plain old amazing. A wonder to behold.

I wonder if the flower - through the evolutionary process - has this shape and image to attract bees, or maybe to actually scare them away....

Peace Rose

It is amazing how the color of a flower, esp. of a rose, is interpreted differently in different cultures.

In Germany, a yellow rose means, essentially, friendship.

But in Russia, yellow roses represent separation or betrayal. In Russia, if a young man gives his girlfriend a yellow rose, it means he is going to break up with her. Constituents angry at russian politicians for this, that or the other often throw yellow roses at them to symbolize betrayal. In some parts of Russia (in more rural areas), yellow roses are sometimes also used for funerals. I had a Russian girlfriend in 1999 and accidentally gave her a bouquet of yellow roses and she was mad as hell. I truly had no idea....

I find yellow roses to be even more beautiful than red roses.

I love roses of all colors. My grandma had rosebushes all over her yard, yellow, pink, red, white... I miss that. My mom used to have a deeeeeepp dark red one. It was cool.
