Man With Flowers

Well obviously the source is biased. I came across this and found it amusing…

“Well, not necessarily rules but a few things to keep in mind:

• First of all remember that men love flowers. A survey conducted by the Society of American Florists showed that over 60% of men surveyed would like to receive flowers on Valentine’s Day. Similar research has turned up the same information, so don’t be shy.
• Men are stimulated by color and are visually oriented. Research shows that men prefer vivid colors such as yellow, orange and red.
• Most men prefer a linear style of design rather than a “fluffy” one. Tell your florist that you want to order flowers for a man and ask for specific suggestions. If the recipient has a hobby, perhaps you could incorporate that into the arrangement. For example, if the recipient is a golfer, tuck in a box of golf balls. If he is into cars, add an auto magazine or two.”

No. It’s not really his Birthday today. But I don’t seem to have any submissions. I was doing some design work for him earlier this year. He’s a super-slick precision designer and his direction was a challenge to my typical messyness as usual. His Birthday fell in the midst of this so I thought I’d send him something really horrible. I remembered it the other day but couldn’t find it. It turned out he’d lost it too. Then it appeared while I was looking for music this morning. I think it’s a nice contrast to Yann’s beautiful craft, if nothing else.
