Re: "Plant Affairs" - Raw Deal

Shellie,

My goodness this sounds so impersonal, think about it, the guys get plucked
off their stem, then your gonna strip their petals, don't even get to know
their bride, have to do their thing, leave some of their genes in a brown
paper bag, then get tossed in the compost pile.

I think I will see if my wife will at least make some negligees for my
ladies.

Otherwise it sounds like a pretty raw deal to me!
