What a lovely memory for you Lynda.

My mum loved flowers, and had wanted to be a florist. She didn't want any at her funeral as 'Flowers are for the living' (her words).

Rather than a bare coffin, we ended up with a display of foliage, more for Dad's sake than anyone elses!

I love lilies, although my Mum always said they are funeral flowers :-D

Although I like most flowers, I usually have a vase full, I just wish they had a smell to them. My Nan was a florist, and you could smell the flowers as you walked past her shop, not many florist shops you can say that about now :-(
Sometimes if I do smell a rose that does have a scent, it reminds me of my Nan's shop :-D

Freesias for me also. Was asked as mother of the bride why was I not ordering an orchid to wear. Told them I would have freesias and would smell their scent all day - which I did!!

Have left instructions no flowers on my last big day except for one large spray of freesias - pity I won't be able to smell them!!!

I've just been buying flowers online to be delivered on a friend's birthday.

What flowers would you like to receive if you were being sent some ( personally I''d settle for any lol) I do love freesias though for the wonderful scent :-D
