In CandyLand we have rules. Rules of etiquette, that is. We don’t care which fork you use to eat your salad; but speaking of greens…

It’s holiday time.

Once upon a time, a woman found herself with a mean case of the holiday blues, sitting at a restaurant. In walked her friend with an unexpected bunch of daisies. Walking home, the woman decided her rule: Anytime you receive flowers (welcome ones, that is), your mission is to — within the next week or so — send flowers to someone else. (Think chain letter, but sans threats of death, boils, bankruptcy or locusts.)

Best of all, we discovered the Oregon-based Flowerbud.com, a killer online source for last-minute delivery. Check out the Casablanca Lilies, Orchids, and Long Stem Roses.

(Just in case you left someone off your holiday list…)
