Sometimes people like to write things about florist’s shops. Here are two things you need to know, the most egregiously wrong things.
1. It makes no fucking sense to sketch out a bouquet before you make it. Every individual flower is different in a way that cannot really be adjusted the way other building materials can be adjusted, and each individual bouquet is unique. Just put the fucking flowers together.
2. No one — in months and months of working at the flower shop — has ever cared what the flower/color of the flower means. No one’s ever asked. It’s just not something people tend to care about outside of fiction and it’s certainly not something most florists know. You know what florists know? What looks good and is thematically appropriate.
Here’s an actual list of the symbology of flowers, as professionals use it:
Yellow – for friends, hospitals Pink – girls, girlfriends, babies, bridesmaids Red – love Purple – queens White – marriage and death (DO NOT SEND TO HOSPITALS) Pink and purple – ur mum Red, orange, and yellow – ur mum if she’s stylish Red, yellow, blue – dudes and small children Blue and white – rare, probably a wedding Red and white – love for fancy bitches
Here are what the flowers actually mean to a florist:
The Fill It Out flowers:
Carnations – fuck u these are meaningless filler-flowers, not even your administrative assistant likes them, show some creativity Alstroemeria – by and large very similar to carnations but I like them better Tea roses – cute and lil and come several to a stalk, a classy filler flower Moluccella laevis – filler flower but CHOICE Delphinium – not as interesting as moluccella but purple so okay I guess Blue thistle – FUCK YEAH, some fucking textural variety at last! you’re getting this for a dude, aren’t you? Chrysanthemums – barely better than carnations but better is still better Gladiolus – ooh, risky business, someone understands the use of the Y-axis, very good
Focal points:
Long-stem roses – yeah whatever Lilies – LBD, looks good with everything, get used as often as possible Hydrangeas – thirsty fuckers, divas of the flower world and rightly so, treat them right and they make you look good Gerbera daisies – the rose’s hippie cousin, hotter but no one admits it Peonies – CHA-CHING, everybody’s absolute favorite but you need guap Orchids – if this isn’t for a wedding you’re probably trying too hard but they’re expensive so keep ordering them
You know what matters? THE CUSTOMER’S BUDGET. THAT’S TELLING.
-$20 – if you’re not under 12, fuck off, get your sugar something else $30 – good for bouquets but an arrangement will be lame $40 – getting there, there’s something that can be done with that. you can get some gerbs or roses with that and not have them look stupidly solo. $50 to $70 – tolerable $80 – FINALLY. It sounds elitist but this really is the basic amount of money you should expect to spend on an arrangement that matters. That’s your Mother’s Day arrangement. You’re probably not going to spend $80 on a bouquet. $90 to $130 – THE GOOD SHIT, you’re likely to get some orchids $130+ – Weddings and death. This amount of money gets you a memorial arrangement or a handmade bridal bouquet. Don’t spend this on a Mother’s Day or a Babe I Love You arrangement, buy whosits a massage or something.
Miscellaneous:
Everything needs greening and if you don’t think that you’re an idiot.
As a new employee, when you start making arrangements, you can’t see the mistakes you’re making because you’re brand new and you’re learning an art form from the ground up.
With a few exceptions customers don’t have a clear plan in mind. They want you to develop the bouquet for them. They want something that will delight their little sweetbread but you’re lucky if they know that person’s favorite color, let alone flower.
Flower shops don’t typically have every kind of flower in every kind of color. Customers generally aren’t assed about that. Most people don’t care about the precise shade of the rose or having daffodils in July, because they’re not boning up on flower language before they buy. That would imply that they’ve got a clear bouquet in mind and, again, they don’t.
Being a florist is essentially a lot like what I imagine being a mortician is about. You’re basically keeping dead things looking good for as long as possible. You keep the product in the fridge so it doesn’t rot and look horrible by the time the family gets a whack at it, and in the meanwhile you put it in a nice container.
Anyway that’s flowers.

“ mhm , i hear your attempt at humour but what i’m getting from it is : water park date ? ” leaning away slightly - though arms remain wrapped around him - she levels a coy smile at him. “ ooh , ooh , ooh ! or beach date ? or botanical gardens ? i’m literally a fountain of ideas, pick one. ” smile had blossomed to a grin as her excitement builds, however it soon faltered as a thought struck her. now regarding kan with a more serious expression.
“ unless - do you have deadlines ? i know you were writing a new song not long ago. if so, i can wait ! ”
he shakes his head, “i finished my project the other day. anything i’d do now would be me reworking stuff just to rework it. so i’m free,” he works , mentally , through her litany of options. sachiko’s mind worked miles a minute. always popping off with the next best thing, the greatest resolution. sometimes it was hard to keep up with her. other times it was amazing watching her be as he hurried his step to catch with her speed.
“i like the gardens. why don’t we go there?”

“ i’m looking up our ~ compatibility ~ right now ! aaaand . . . ” scroll scroll scroll, “ 87 % COMPATIBLE ! wow, most aspects are 70% to 99%. we’re super compatible ! ”
juno beams at that, glossed lips pulled into a wide-splitting smile. eyes sparkling like pink diamonds. “87% compatible... that’s amazing! the stars really said we’re besties for life. astrologically epic!”

bingo !! someone easy to tease. “ you know what you did, makkun. fess up !! ”
“no i don’t!!” he’s wracking his brain for all the things he could have done in the past like, two hours. and while that number can and could be many, nothing’s coming to mind. his eyes widen, he glances back and forth frantically. “i can’t fess up if i don’t know what i did!”

i am really just sakata gintoki’s little whore bc that man really owns my entire ass. everything about his character leaves me weak in the knees. his disgusting sense of humor. the way in which he chooses to operate within the world. choosing to follow his own path while also blessed that there are people who want to be apart of his journey. a man who is literally haunted by so many different facets of his past, yet he encourages the people around him through his words and his actions to continuously look forward and search for a new tomorrow because that’s all gintoki has ever tried to do. just live. he’s trying to learn how to just live. and he’s so so so willing to put everyone else before himself and he does it without hesitation like sakata gintoki is a man who’s strength comes from the love he has for the family he’s found and i’ll never stop loving this man who acts like he doesn’t give a fuck but in fact, gives the biggest fuck in the world goodbye.
