giving someone flowers implies a sense of fondness or care, but i've never been a fan of plastic flowers. despite their year-round appearance of beauty, up close they always tend to look a bit haggard and rough around the edges. although being convenient and cost effective, their one undeniable and positive trait is that they last forever. consistent with a thoughtful upside, i guess plastic flowers would best solidify the concept of love better than their living counterparts.
