I hope I picked the right flowers I mean no disrespect

For the many years I worked for (son)Phil Goers, he and I discussed the heavenly beauty of the greenhouse and he meant the flowers, how it was like a wedding never ending with the sights of the creatures around and the sounds along with the beautiful colors. He always avoided his physical being and I mean always, to keeping the perfection on the flower of the moment and sharing that moment with the women and agreeing with the men how wonderful they go together. I am just being honest.
