They looked artificial. Just like the artificially coloured orchids at florists’. Never seen a gladiolus in that fluorescent blue hue. Realized the dyed-water trick used to colour orchids – the orchid stalks are inserted in little plastic vials of blue dye. Fine, but why that garish colour, that no flower could naturally acquire?
The usual mauve, flaming orange or pristine white that gladioli usually come in would’ve looked so lovely. These stuck out like sore thumbs.
Now someone once said that an ideal gift for an Aquarian gal would be electric blue heels. Well, however Aquarian I may be, I’d never wear a pair of those. Oh yes, I’d gladly accept them, model them in the privacy of my room wearing an electric blue feathery stole (that I bought on some weird whim and never wore) and that’s about it. The heels and the plume would sit in all their electric blue glory in one corner of my wardrobe.
