Some of you might have heard of millions of flower stems been destroyed by their producers because no one is either selling or buying blooms this year.
Well, I am reading just now about a hashtag, buyflowersnottoiletpaper
Clever indeed! Take a look at the article - photos and video included.
Many companies are buying flowers to give away just on the street, to nursing homes, or to their employees. This allows the florists to at least sell something so they don't have to lay off employees, and can pay off some of their bills. There are good news stories to come of this . So glad not everything is being destroyed.
As an aside, a friend told me that tulip bulbs were eaten during the war when little other food was available. I didn't know that!
