I agree that flowers are a poor investment. They can be expensive and don’t last long. Roses are beautiful but they seem to have the shortest lifespan of looking beautiful, and when I do buy flowers I avoid them. My wife appreciates when I give them before Shabbos or Yom Tov, but I won’t buy flowers for any other occasion. I prefer to buy something of more lasting, memorable nature. As far as I am concerned, florists are one of the biggest ripoff businesses, but I don’t blame the vendors. People are just suckers for flowers.
