Ladies, would you prefer to be gifted a bouquet of wild flowers or shop flowers, and why?

I really can’t imagine caring where a gift came from
receiving any kind of bouquet is lovely enough but there’s something so romantic about someone stopping by the side of a road or a meadow to purposefully grab you some flowers they thought you’d find pretty 🥰
Wild flores, more thought put into it and I can add them to my collection.
Shop flowers.
Unless the wild flowers are coming off our property, I am a big fan of “take only pictures, leave only footprints”
Shop flower in a pot so it doesn’t die. Leave the nature alone it’s hard enough for them already, and the bees needs it more than it dying om my kitchen table
Shop flowers that have been specifically grown for the purpose. Leave wildflowers where they grow for the bees and the butterflies.
Shop flowers just because my favorite is white roses.
Flowers are good regardless, so I’d be happy with any. My favorites, though, are from the farmers markets in my city – and they’re super cheap.
My parents’ first date was on a Sunday. My dad – who isn’t from Europe – forgot shops are closed on Sundays. So he plucked a bouquet of flowers on the side of the road 😅
My parents are still married 30+ years later.
So according to my mom wild flowers are fine, lol.
Whatever makes more sense for the person giving it. If they have the time and want to pick flowers, awesome. If they work a lot and are tired and want to stop by Trader Joe’s for a bouquet, that is also welcomed.

As long as it contains no true lilies, I’m fine with whatever it came from. I love flowers!
But I also like the idea of leaving the wildflowers for the bees.

I’d prefer a boquet of wild flowers over shop flowers, if they picked them by themselves.
I don’t care as long as it’s hand-picked by the giver.
Shop flowers. More variety and have already been taken away from the pollinators.

Depends on how pretty the flowers are.
As someone who never got flowers in a 15 year relationship and 12 yr marriage. I would like whatever was brought because it means the person actually gave a damn long enough to think about me.
Actually, I like the flowers sold by old grandmas on street corners. Just a few small bouquets, nothing fancy.
It warms my heart that by buying these flowers, two people are made happy: me and that old lady.
I guess… wild flowers.
Neither. I’m going to feel bad that they are going to die. I rather have a plant it has a 50/50 chance of surviving. Or tacos. I will also take tacos. And yes you they can get fancy and spread them out to make them into flower shape
A bouquet of herbs and spices /j
personally, i don’t care where did he get the flowers. the most important is the fact that the flowers are for me from him)
The most lovely bouquets I’ve ever received are from my sister in law who grows flowers based on fragrance preference in her garden and gifts us
bouquets for our birthdays.
So yeah, take note. Start your own fragrance gardens now if you think you may want to gift someone flowers at any point in the future lol
He regularly gets me self picked flowers and I absolutely love it. I love the time and energy that went into it. I love seeing how he combines the colours, the textures and different sizes. He puts so much of himself in it, I can’t help but absolutely love those bouquets.
Wild
i’m just happy to even receive flowers 🤷🏻♀️
Potted plants are best. Last forever
If you buy five beautiful red roses, but take three to four beautiful green twigs with beautiful leaves from nature, you will have a bouquet you cannot get anywhere, except from your own imagination.
I’d prefer a plant or seeds or bulbs because flowers are already dying. I appreciate that I am weird not liking flowers though.
Probably shop flowers, but potted. Especially if it’s a practical plant- rosemary that happens to be flowering, or a fruit tree sapling. Ooh! Or local wildflower seedbombs.
Hmmm. Realizing something about myself right now. For me, this would actually be ridiculously, brain-short-circuiting romantic. Come to my door with a little orange tree. You could have spent $100 on a bouquet of long-stem roses, and instead you brought me a $50 tree budding with promise? DAMN. In all the best of ways, you’re about to see god. Call your friends and have them pour one out for their homie because you are not making it out of this house the same man as you entered it.
Can i choose a third option? Live plant please or take a photo pf the flowers and bring me one little one and tell me you thought of me when you saw them.
Shop flowers, I once I tried to pick myself some flowers from my garden and they were crawling with bugs. No thank you!!
I actually don’t care for receiving flowers in general and tbh would prefer receiving chocolate instead, but that wasn’t the question asked lol.
Neither.
Bring me flowers from the garden you’ve tended, origami flowers you folded from paper you chose, or flowers you carved from non-flower materials.
For my bridal shower my mom DIY’d gorgeous centerpieces. She went to a flower warehouse (wholesaler).
But in the 11th hour my dad asked our neighbor if he could also pick from their garden their gorgeous white hydrangeas… which we later found out had sooo many bugs all over that got carried to the restaurant!
So wildflowers are fine but leave the bugs in their habitat!
The best option for me is a purchased flower in a pot, it will please me every blooming period.
Wildflowers. I absolutely love wildflowers and morality aside, it would mean so much more that they had just seen them and thought of me. Even if they’re weeds. It’s the thoughtfulness
I think I’d really enjoy getting wild flowers! Mostly because it means they took time to pick special ones and put it together for me. I’m such a sucker for effort.
Shop flowers. Less chance of bugs and they look nicer. But preferably neither.
Wild flowers.
As long as they’re flowers, I’m happy that I was thought of.. Be it wild or from the florist.

Potted plant over cut flowers ANY day
I’d actually prefer a plant..if that’s an option. I think some guys have started to do this instead, which is nice.
I don’t care, all flowers are beautiful!
