There's a scary ad on TV at the moment. It features a gaggle of women meeting a friend at a railway station. One has a bunch of flowers. As we watch them laughing and hugging, a voice shrieks loudly over the top "GEK! Op bloemen!" (Crazy about flowers). The end. It doesn't appear to be an ad for any particular florist, so I'm guessing it was paid for by the IFNLC (Insane Florists of the Netherlands Committee). Terrifying stuff.
However, the Dutch do know and love their flowers. Take these as an example. I headed round to our local florist, asked for a bouquet in pink for friend Jo who's had a baby girl (mother and daughter both doing well), told him how much I wanted to spend, and this was the result. Just gorgeous.
