Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 225 | http://www.pickupflowers.com/products/usa/sunflowers-and-a-little-sunshineThis is the site and a bright happy example of flowers. But there are many more. I know that Christine's favourite colour is blue, but I thought all blue might be less cheerful. There is some blue there as well. My favourite favourite it a bouquet of sunflowers but there is no blue in that at all, so probably not. Tell me what you think. I'll post his on the fanpage as well.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I mailed her a humorus card today. I didn't figure flowers were allowed in. When she is allowed flowers, I am going to send her some. Sorry all, but we do have to keep the bouquets rather neat and precise I bet. I know she will like the card.
