Today my brother had a bone graft and a stronger sleeve put on his fibia, a
second surgery after he broke his ankle sledding or, as the English put it,
sledging. He seems to be recovering normally from the surgery. I called to
order flowers to be sent, and found myself in the strange position of asking
if something other than pastel colors were available in the "spring
bouquet."
"Is there a category of flower orders for males who are recovering from
surgery," I asked.
The guy on the other end was sympathetic, but florists have not yet given
the problem their best attention. Maybe that's what I should do instead of
professoring--manly interflora, for the crunched athlete in your life. What
a market.
My question is, what do list members consider to be manly flowers, and why?
