Floraganza: the long list of lesser resolutions

This year, through the flower resolution, I resolve to
7.  Grow flowers.
8.  Plant a cutting garden
9.  Attend a flower arranging workshop.
10.  Learn how to take a decent picture of a bouquet while it is in my poorly lit kitchen.
11.  Buy some serious floral supplies.
12. Run the experiment to determine if flower powder actually helps.
13. Force some bulbs.
14. Learn about and "try" ikebana.
15.  Try other floral techniques I can't name yet.
16.  Send friends flowers.
17.  Receive flowers.
18.  Send something that utilizes the "langauge of flowers".
19. Dry some flowers and use them for something other than collecting dust.

What would you add?

Enjoy wandering in some wildflowers on the ranch.

I will also partake in wildflower identification, wildflower wandering and botanical tourism.
Thanks for the reminder.

How about blogging about the flower industry, impacts on the environment, etc. And why we should buy local! And, if you need to research botanical tourism in person, I know a great place you can visit this fall! I will be your guide.

Oh Debbie, maybe I'll investigate the floral industry. Maybe I'll have one of my students do it during economically important plants. Maybe you can do it and I'll post it.
I am unlikely to come to Haiti while my great friendly tour guide will be there, but I will heartily recommend it for my other readers.
