Most men will receive their first bunch of flowers at their funeral.

His reaction is pretty funny. It's like getting a bunch of flowers is a threat to someone's manhood. I'm a big beardy Scottish man with tattoos, facial scars and a strong working class attitude+accent. I prefer plants but I really like getting flowers as a gift. Most people assume because of my size and appearance that I'm only into macho things. I do have "macho" interests but I'm also obsessed with the natural world. I'm almost always watching nature documentaries and if im not out hiking, foraging or befriending wild animals then I'm tending to a jungle of house plants. My girlfriend bought me a bunch of flowers just last week for no specific reason and I was delighted with that gift.
