In these hard economic times, I sometimes go to florist shop's trash recepticals to find left overs..for example... petals to use for potporri (for my home use only, not resale). I love flowers so much and really can't splurge in this economy, so I do what I can to brighten and make my home cheerful. It's a hobby of mine and I enjoy it. It's not easy work and can be just plain gross at times, but my love for flowers out ways that.
Pros: not one
Cons: hateful, selfish snobbery
