Dear Miss Cosgrove,
Allow me to make the case for camellias and poppies. I'm sure you agree these are just as spectacular as the roses on display at the wedding early this week.
I enjoyed our conversation. Thank you for indulging me in a somewhat eccentric humor.
Sincerely,
E. Selwyn

Card attached to a large and flamboyant bouquet of pink camellias and red poppies, accented by tiger lilies in an array of colors, delivered in the afternoon when she was likely to be out and about - and delivered to her directly, not to the house while she was away.
Lou made this! <3
