i received a bunch of beautiful flowers and it reminds me.

how do you take care of them so they last as long as possible in a vase?

[He could look it up, but reading isn't as fun as chatting with random people.]

unless it's not that different from farming?

[He types, as if he doesn't regularly complain about farmwork back in his world.]

also related to that: who knows flower language?

Yes to both inquiries.

What type are they?

[saigawa]

thanks!

i don't know that they are. i only recognise white roses.

[yumenope]

Ah. An arrangement. It’ll take me a moment or two to parse through it all.

Do you happen to know the sender?

I believe a little sugar and vinegar in the vase water will keep them fresh longer.

Flower language?

[saigawa]

huh, really?

[Maybe he should read up more...]

you don't know? each flower can have a meaning, so it's like another message if you send them to someone.

[vassalize]

They were for you to present to someone you desire as part of a proper courtship ritual,
but seeing as you've chosen to keep them, then store them in a good temperature, keep them in water,
and note whether or not they should be near a source of light.

Should you require books on horticulture, I suppose I have one or two I can lend you.

[saigawa]

aw, are you sure they're not just for me? they're pretty enough for me to keep.

[The real answer is... Kashuu doesn't have anyone he's serious about to give them away. But like hell he's typing that here.]

i guess you want me to look things up, huh. but if you're offering, i'll gladly borrow your books~

[The water thing is dead obvious, it's just anything else he might overlooked. (Don't ask how many times they ruined crops from overwatering.)]

man
easy
just keep buyin the same flowers and replacing them
hardest part of that plan is amnesia for being the one to buy your own flowers every time

but flower language
unless you think theyre going to leaf you if youre not petaling their photosynthesizing asses some of that good shit
then again you could be pollen my leg and they have a beefriend to chlorophyll that role instead
stamen you for fooling me

ok last one was reaching but really what the fuck is flower language?

[saigawa]

[Give him a moment to read that. He gets most of that save for a lot of the big words.

Plus you know, the very idea of buying replacements. Wow! (Except Kashuu probably might do that...)]

wow who would buy more flowers to replace them? unless you really like them enough for that.

y'know, i kinda get most of what you said except i don't. because i'm more of a fashion sword than a farming sword.

[When you simultaneously understand and don't understand. Thanks, he hates this.]

it's that thing where each flower can have a different meaning. so you can give flowers to someone and also a message for them!

Make sure the water in the vase doesn't evaporate and leave the roots dry, and change it out whenever it begins to cloud. Other than that, I'm not sure of what else you can do.

I am familiar with the Vanthian language of flowers.

[ It's not strictly necessary if you're a Vanthian aristocrat, but it's certainly a useful tool in the Court Intrigue toolbelt. ]

From what I understand this is a thing that varies greatly by culture, but I can still help you out.

[saigawa]

that seems about right, since it's a rather obvious thing.

i don't know vanthian. but i don't mind hearing about it.

[He did ask for it. Who knows, maybe Vanthian flower language makes his flower sound extra nice! Assuming he's that lucky, anyway.]

I work at a flower shop... and I speak to flowers too. What is it that you'd like to know?


[ She was born from a flower herself but that's not exactly a conversation to have here. ]

[saigawa]

you can speak to flowers?

[That's... relatively simple compared to other things that surprised him.]

i just want to know their meaning. just a little curious.

[He could stay blissfully ignorant. Or he could learn how honoured or insulted he should feel.]

[whateternityis]

Make sure they don't forget who's boss. [...Maybe... maybe don't take Crowley's word for it. Also he usually grows plants rather than dealing with cut flowers.]

Which flower language?

[saigawa]

[Normally, that would sound weird to anyone else. Anyone else that's not a literal object spirit and knows about the supernatural/spiritual world.]

so i just make sure they really know who's in charge.

any? i'm japanese, but i don't mind hearing about other kinds.

[So he can pick and choose, to be honest. (But he's just mildly curious.)]

I learned a little about the flower language from working a flower shop back home.

A for keeping flowers fresh; make sure you trim off the ends with a pair of scissors to keep them longer. Avoid any direct sunlight. My employee used a mixture of water and soda and changed water every few days.

[saigawa]

so if i show you the flowers, you might recognise them?

soda? as in the drink?

[Please clarify before he starts imagining using ramune or something.]

[gracile]

Have the flowers already been cut?

[saigawa]

that's right. neatly, i think.

Farming and keeping decorative flowers require different care.

[Not that he can really tell anyone how to do either, but...]

I am familiar with the flower language of my home.
Is there something you are curious about?

[saigawa]

i thought so. then again, i don't really like farmwork anyway.

[So whatever he does (reluctantly) know about farmwork is pointless.]

i mostly want to know the meaning behind the flowers i got.

[attachment: image.jpg

White roses, baby's breath, lilies (??) and delphinium.]

[Video]

[beitangmoran]

My, my, are people sending you flowers, xiaomao? And here I come only bearing food.

[Video]

[saigawa]

[He switches over to video, once he sees it's Moran.]

Food's just as good as flowers, Moran! I'll appreciate whichever you choose to give me.

[And well, food is simpler to deal with.]

[purport]

To add to what others have said, trim the ends of the stems at a 45° angle. This will help them take in water. There are also nutrients you can add to the water for them, which flower vendors sell here.

But surely you're not suggesting flowers speak.

[saigawa]

[It's text, but he can almost see the raised brow behind the words.]

got it! so that's a diagonal cut, right?

and no, i'm not. what i mean is that each flower have a meaning. that's what people called flower language. since you can use them to send a message.
