Antonia saw her chance to go from selling flowers to being flowered.

/// Lisabetta felt some apprehension

when men spoke to her with condescension.

But Enrico is charming

with a smile that’s disarming.

Her cheeks blush from his Welcomed Attention.

Leave the poor girl alone! She’s just had a corsage failure and want to retreat to a private space to repair her clothes!

Lisa was fresh from the countryside, and didn’t realize that the gentleman’s attention (and the gentlemen as well) would disappear entirely once he got to sample her wares.

Apparently Andreotti has a thing for women with flowers being seduced by a man.

“My dear, I am a professional keyboard musician. I will buy your roses for my Clavier … and your tulips for my Pipe Organ.”

Silly man that is the lamest pickup line to which I reply I’ll arrange these in a nice vase near your headstone and personally water them everyday since there is no public toilet on the grounds.

I picked them on a summers eve.

Henrietta briefly lost control of all of her senses. If Harold’s cane was an accurate a representation like he claimed, she was in for a real treat.

“Excuse miss, do you mind if I smell your flowers?”

Adrian and Adriana delighted in switching clothes and genders. Most folks never knew.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may!

Miss Delilah, it hurts me right here that you say you refuse to court a man who can neither afford a vase nor a full pair of pants.

Your hat’s too small, dude. Was your head always this big?

“Ah-ah-ah-ow-ow-ow-oo!”

“The madam down the block said you are one of the new girls. I’m interested.”

“Sir, I’m afraid you’ll need more than one flower to hide your three-week abstinence from bathing.”

“The adverts said it would make me flowery-fresh. I guess it works.”

“‘Pluck’! Honestly, I said ‘pluck’!”

The flowers were pretty and the thought was nice. Too bad Bill never figured out how to make a bouquet

“Welcomed Attention”

the pretty young gay man assured her he ONLY wanted a flower.
