Flowers were designed for beauty; so were women, but neither will share their fragrant appeal with the world if they are not cared for properly. A florist would be a fool if he treated all his flowers alike. Some types of flowers are more sensitive than others. If you mistreat an Orchid it will drop it’s flowers and leave you with shriveled leaves and an empty stem. Some women will shut down on those who mistreat them. This doesn’t mean they (flowers/women) are defeated permanently, but they will need a sabbatical until they can find their strength to flourish again. Not all women shut down when they are hurt; some fight back returning 'fire' when they need to, and some put up a guard–like a rose, which protects it’s beauty with thorns, just in case someone tries to hurt her/it. 'Roses are Red' comes in 5 ever-to-exist editions, exclusively on Known Origin. If you admire this piece, I invite you to check my profile and see the rest of my portfolio.
