Do you like flowers in the house?

I always have flowers in the house. I have a delivery every two weeks and my DD buys me a monthly subscription for my birthday every month.

Not routinely but I enjoy them if I'm gifted them as a treat.

A few weeks ago a colleague sent me The Most Enormous bouquet to say thank you for conducting her mother's funeral. It was very unexpected, I was honoured to have been asked. I enjoyed every minute of the three weeks they lasted. 💐

I don't have too many joys in my life but the one thing I love is to buy myself a small bunch of flowers each week as it really lifts me spirits looking at the beautiful colours. I wish someone would buy me flowers for my birthday but agree pot plants do last longer. No chocolates for me.x

It is always a real treat to be given flowers, I love watching them open and eventually they can be thrown out; unlike pot plants which demand continuing care and house room. I don't know why I don't buy flowers for myself but I think it would spoil the treat.

I have a vase of fresh flowers every week. I'm always happy to have more.

Or a pot plant.

Or chocolates.

I'm easily pleased

^ I bought a Christmas cactus for the bathroom but all the buds have dropped off☹️^.

Apparently once the flower buds start forming they don't like the position of the plant to be altered. I think they try to turn to the light and that breaks the connection between the flower bud and the plant. They'll flower again next year though and it'll give years of pleasure. I have a Christmas cactus I bought 40+ years ago (well, I doubt if it's the original but it's from the same plant) just before my DD was born. It obliges every year around about her birthday.

I love flowers in the house, my children gave me some autumnal chrysanthemums today as we took them out to lunch, I occasionally buy them for myself. I kill any pot plants always have done and don’t like chocolate, so cut flowers please.

I had a lovely bouquet from my son for my birthday, I didn’t spot a lily hiding in the middle !
It was only when I started wheezing coughing and sneezing that I traced the rogue lily !
Daughter removed it , I was fine with the rest of the flowers , but I do prefer them growing in the garden

Flowers are my weekly extravagance as late DH bought them for nearly sixty years. Now I have to buy my own but hate a house without them. One biggish bunch in the sitting room, a smaller one in the kitchen and a little one in the hall, often last week’s recycled, and a constant joy.

Always have flowers in the house - usually lilies in the lounge in Summer and I add fresh ones every week, weeding out those past their best.
Spring flowers in season and from November onwards I buy chrysanthemums (I know they’re considered naff) in shades of gold and brown for the lounge instead of the lilies.
I also have the odd plant, succulents and orchids here and there, plus bowls/baskets of hyacinths.
I’d prefer a giant bag of Co-op ready salted crisps to chocolate though. Another cheap date!

Flowers flowers flowers every time Really lifts the spirits
We put fresh flowers in our holiday let’s sometimes garden sometimes shops. On our reviews it is frequently commented upon how welcoming it makes them feel when they arrive. The only down side is I feel like second hand rose cos if there is life left in them I bring them up to the house

I buy roses almost every week from Sainsbury’s. Great value, a dozen roses for £3 and I have even managed to propagate a few.

I wouldn't buy flowers for myself. I'd rather have houseplants. DH brings flowers home from the Co-op when they are reduced at closing time as he doesn't like to see them thrown away.
My grandmother wouldn't have cut flowers in her house, "poor dead things," she would say.

I have bought flowers all my married life, my house always has fresh flowers.
I even subscribe to a company that delivers, diffent ones each time with instruct how to display, so you can try something new.

I love flowers and often buy them for myself and for other people. However, I do understand Charleygirl . My lovely sister in law likes to keep her home very warm (tropical) and says that she " can't keep flowers ". I buy chocolate for her. It doesn't keep either, but for different reasons.

i wouldn't want chocolates, I do not have a sweet tooth and do not really like chocolate.

Yes

Only in season. In winter I have plants.

I always have vase of cut flowers in the kitchen and hall, but pot plants in the lounge.

Love flowers in the house. I’d rather have them them than plants or chocolates.

Casdon made me think - of course I always cut my sweet peas because you have to if you want them to keep going!

Almost always have flowers, always have plants (some flowering, my Christmas cactus is covered in flowers at the moment and I have a purple orchid flowering for the second time). I love them.

Yes absolutely love fresh flowers in the house they brighten the place up and make me feel good.

Flowers every time , love them in the house. I buy them regularly, Morrisons flowers are ways good !

Yes, I’m a gardener, I love flowers and other greenery, and always have them in the house - they make it home for me. I grow lots of flowers specially for cutting, and aim to use my own garden’s supply from March to October, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the fruits of my seed and bulb sowing labours. I’m less keen on shop flowers, as they are often imported, and I love flowers that grow in the UK. I’ve got a bowl full of ornamental gourds I grew on my table at the moment, I love them too.

I love flowers as a gift and I buy myself a bunch each week. I have a vase in the living room and a vase in the hall. I have plants as well and enjoy them too
