Wild flowers on a trail or a bouquet in a vase?

wild flowers on a trail

Wild flowers on a trail or a bouquet in a vase?
What is your actual question? Wild flowers on a trail are natural, representing "found" beauty, not a product of human effort. In general, wild flowers are smaller, less varied, and less colorful than a bouquet of cut flowers. The cost of wild flowers is external at most, the person seeing them paying to be there, but not for the production of the beauty itself. Cut flowers are made, not found. The flowers themselves are grown commercially on a plantation, somewhere in the world, perhaps inflicting some damage to the environment, perhaps not, harvested by human labor, shipped by air at some expense and with some adverse environmental impact, to be assembled by a florist into a bouquet as their paid job, sold to somebody for money, given to some recipient for some purpose, ranging from simply experiencing the beauty to commemorating some emotion-charged occasion. Cut flowers have more emotional impact, more environmental impact, and more economic impact. Wild flowers on a trail are experienced by chance, a bouquet of flowers in a vase is experienced by design. Preferring one over the other is perhaps only a matter of taste, about which there is no right or wrong.
Reply:I love all flowers but when you put them in a vase they die faster. Just leave them to grow free please.
Reply:R U asking what we like to get?


If so it depends on who they R from


I love to get wild flowers from my kids and bouquets from my hubby
Reply:As soon as you pick it - it begins to die - better to leave it where it is and take a photo.
Reply:The answer is easy. Where would rather see an Elephant or a Panda? In a Zoo or in its natural environment? I know which one I'd go for. Your a wildflower too and the choices you make are you own decision, unfortunately the wild things are controlled by we "intelligent" beings who apparently know whats best.
