Chloe Bouchard shared a photo. 2/10 near Tisse

To help us take our minds off of the recent strangeness, why not take a moment to think about a rose? Tuesday is Valentine's Day, for all you who have been procrastinating buying a bouquet for that special someone. But, is a Rose really the sentiment you want to share? Did you know that there is a whole language of flowers, many of them in fact? Different flowers have different meanings, and getting just the right arrangement can say something truly special to the person that you adore. After all, one of the best ways to show someone that you have a true love for them is with a forget-me-not, not a rose. You wouldn't want to say the wrong thing with your flower choice, would you? Come by Enchanted Blossoms in Tisse and see our Valentine's Day arrangements. Feel free to ask any questions you want about what the flowers you choose say about your love, and we'll help you pick the perfect ones. And if you like, I'll even tell you something about the language of flowers right now.

Émilie Écarlate Never hurts to have a refresher. Also, consider this an endorsment!

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard An endorsement is always appreciated, Emilie.
Chloe Bouchard And refreshers are usually good.

[mollitumnata]

Aria Brandudy You would be the second person of this shop I've heard from, I'll be sure to drop by before work someday! I hope there are several flowers for communicating appreciation, could I get some advice on that?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Oh, did you run into Mikoto or one of the other employees?
Chloe Bouchard And there are definitely flowers for thankfulness.
Chloe Bouchard It's one of the reasons people choose pink or peach roses instead of red, usually with agrimony or geraniums
Chloe Bouchard It might depend on what you wanted to show appreciation for, and making the colors work well together.
Chloe Bouchard Appearance and what's in season are important too.

[mollitumnata]

Aria Brandudy It wasn't Mikoto, he was a very helpful gentleman actually
Aria Brandudy Mostly I want to show appreciation for the couple hosting me.
Aria Brandudy They've been very kind, but I don't think I know them well enough yet either

[rebellions]

Ragna Edgson seriously?
Ragna Edgson it's just some weeds

[true_noir]

[Them's fighting words, Ragna.]

Chloe Bouchard Dandelions are weeds.
Chloe Bouchard These are cultured, groomed and grown very carefully.
Chloe Bouchard And you would be surprised the effect the right combination can have on the heart.

[rebellions]

[That's just, like, his opinion man.]

Ragna Edgson i can't even tell that shit apart
Ragna Edgson is that really that big of a deal

[me_matey]

May Sfondi isnt this kind of assuming everyone else is as savvy to flower talk as you? i mean, if someone got their special someone roses, pretty sure they wouldnt get offended if they didnt get forget-me-nots instead

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard This is why we include sentiment cards.
Chloe Bouchard And the centerpiece flower is usually a pretty impressive choice to begin with.
Chloe Bouchard Of course, if they really love roses, there are different colors.
Chloe Bouchard Even black ones for goths.

[Kind of. They were more a really dark purple, but people called them black.]

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Do you have White Anemones?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard They are a winter blossom, so yes we have them in stock.
Chloe Bouchard They are lovely, aren't they?
Chloe Bouchard Just so clean and pristine.

[starfruitfrog]

Yuki Sato So what kind of flower would you use for appreciation? Or I guess....like...respect, or something? Or is it better just to give them a gift card in cases like that?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Pink roses, sometimes with agrimony, are common choices.
Chloe Bouchard Though sometimes people choose different flowers for certain things they respect.
Chloe Bouchard It depends on what it is you want to show respect for.

[mikodere]

Mikoto Mikoshiba I can't thank you enough for putting this up, Chloe!
Mikoto Mikoshiba It seems to be attracting a ton of attention too.
Mikoto Mikoshiba Also, if anyone needs a reference. Speaking as the owner of the florist shop, Chloe knows her stuff. She's an expert at flower language.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It was no trouble.
Chloe Bouchard I admit that I am amused by how few of my fellow employees and customers I need.
Chloe Bouchard I will have to remedy this.

[mercurio]

Prompto Argentum i kinda wonder if you could pinpoint a flower to a person based on personality chloe~?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I could pinpoint a part of a personality that way.
Chloe Bouchard But most people have many pieces.
Chloe Bouchard But, if you give me a personality I can name a bouquet that might work.
