Are flowers romantic??

[Senusret I]

Okay.

Time is running out.

I can't decide between two dozen long stemmed red roses (which represent that classic, romantic, conservative side of me)

or

a dozen sunflowers tied together with burgundy and gold ribbon (symbolizing a scene in and motif from novels, which is how he met me)(not IN the novel, which is a work of fiction silly, but because his friend turned him on to my work, then he found me through her)

I am starting to feel like the roses are a cop-out and sorta....eh. Like, roses. Come on. Not very inspired. Very hetero.

But I feel like sunflowers are gross and not everyone would actually LIKE sunflowers. Sure, they have more meaning, but...sunflowers? I would like them. Especially because of the meaning.


On a more decisive note they're going to be hand delivered by a friend/APO brother of mine to his birthday party, since I won't be there. (They live in the same city -- I don't. Don't worry, APO brother won't steal him from me)

Eek, tough call. Ok I say the sunflowers, but would it work to stick one deep red rose in there, one that would match the burgundy ribbon or coordinate? It would symbolize the same as two dozen while having more meaning by being in the "field" of sunflowers.

I like the idea of sunflowers with some roses placed in between them.

I should've been born a guy.

someone who's willing to go the route of "hey i dig you enough to put my mouth there" wins more points in my book over someone who sticks a "thinking of you" card in a dozen of roses.

f*ck romance. get head.

are you more concerned with him being impressed and feeling romantic or immediately knowing who they're from? if the arrangement is being delivered by hand (and by a brother - nice!) then i would lean towards the roses if you're going for the romantic "wow" factor. people will go "ooh" and "aah" and i think even for a second hell be like "damn someone is feelin me!" if youre going for the "oh i know EXACTLY who those are from," go with the sunflowers. hopefully it will click instantly and the meaning isn't lost on the lucky guy.
