It was a marketing company, I presume, who came up with the clever strap line "Say it with Flowers" in order to sell more "flowers.  This must be one of the most successful strap lines ever because it seems every boy, particularly if they're in the doghouse, would rather send flowers than talk. Don't get me wrong, it's great to receive them, only not as a substitute for spoken, genuine words.

You know what, flowers aren't able to talk or translate your thoughts into speech or say sorry. This isn't the eighteenth century where on sight of flowers us gurls dissolve in perfume, melt, and forgive everything,  "holding the sender in the highest regard".

Boys, this is the secret: you can't really say it with flowers. Start talking.
