They are! I never pick flowers to bring in because it depresses me... Pick the flowers, the flowers are dead. Sighing! My family knows any plant type gifts must have roots. But Kate's photos aren't having the same (negative) affect. Don't tell my family, they'll start giving me photos instead of plants. Whistling

Remind yourself that picking flowers encourages the plant to produce more flowers. (Actually I can't pick my flowers either.)
