Yellow and white and don't ask me why. I'll think of it tomorrow.

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?
