Sometimes i buy fresh cut Carnations from roadside sellers. Smell sooo Good.



After flowers have been refrigerated they don't have so sweet the smell, imho.

Then they decided to offshore my job
I saw something on CNN I think it was, where some companies are starting to bring jobs back, they're finding the language barriers and different time zones to be more of a problem than initially thought.

People that do low level computer coding, might still be screwed though, I can see the software architects and software engineering jobs coming back, like I said, not so sure about the low level coding part though.

Never put flowers in a refrigerator (if you mean a home one) because fruit will cause them to age and open faster and if you periodically cut the bottom of the stems several times after you buy them they last longer. If you mean the one's at a flower shop - they pick up the scent of other flowers which is why we used to keep all of them wrapped before we used them.

Yeah, LOL, I was gonna say the irony of it all an indian guy losing his job to someone half way around the world, who happens to be in India.

I don't want to pick on Antler though.

I've bought many Roses, Carnations, etc from Flower Shops but they smelled sweeter to us freshcut from roadside stands...

I wood cut a couple inches off the bottom of stems & sometimes put an aspirin in the water...

I grow roses in the yard and the bushes are as tall as the house and it just smells wonderful out there. I have one red rose vine on the fence and the petals look and feel like velvet. Carnations do have the longest shelf life tho

That's Wonderful...

Here on the mountain, in the Spring many sweet smelling wildflowers grow. I don't know all the names.
Some that are sweet are the Lilac bush's, sweet pea, honey suckle, etc

Lots of Hummerbirds come around.



the wild orchids are beautiful.
