Ok so how many of you send flowers these days to new mothers in hospital? I was having this discussion recently with a local grower who was lamenting the fact that what was traditionally a strong area of floristry - sending flowers to new mummies (or anyone in hospital for that matter) is almost old fashioned now and sadly a declining side of the floral industry. Do you love to get flowers when in hospital or do you no longer bother or think about sending flowers? Our conversation went along the lines of the decline of sending flowers to people you know and/or love and the increase in buying flowers for people you have never even met and leaving them on pavements or wherever as memorial to the loss of someone who has passed away due to an unexpected act of violence or accident - did this public outpouring start with Princess Diana we wondered? Do you have a view on this change or even think about it? Interesting how time changes many traditions!
