    Methinks the lady doth protest too much...

    I think you may be right @TheGreenMan. All very strange....:)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I hate bouquets of flowers.  And flower arranging.

    There.  I said it. 

    If I ever get any @bencotto you can have them

    I think we all know where this thread is heading, so perhaps flagging is the best option, and then the mods can decide on it's legitimacy or not.  :)

    I also love scented flowers, don’t really like cut flowers that don’t smell. My favourite cut flower from a shop is a lily, from the garden a sweet pea or rose

    I'm all for giving the benefit of the doubt, but the multicoloured roses did make me wonder. I know some florists do dye flowers (blue chrysanthemums and suchlike), but so many colours must be unachievable in real life. I don't think you could even paint them to look like that, the colours would surely run into each other. They put me in mind of the dodgy online seed sellers with their impossibly multicoloured strawberries, tomatoes and flowers. I don't know whether that's the image that @hannamoor1696 wants to project, but it's her/his choice in any case.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Here you are @BenCotto ...

    I think the overreaction to @Dovefromabove's question re the signature photo speaks volumes.

    Spam or not, you don't need to pile in and attack like someone trod on a wasp nest. It's a real person writing, with a real day and real feelings.

    No, spam isn't welcome and the spam reporting gadget doesn't seem to be working. With millions of views a year and many eyes on the forum it's not like anyone is getting hurt by some dodgy mums.

    We know groups bond by finding common enemies - so beware of grabbing your pitchfork. We're not under threat. Have a cup of tea and a biccie.
