      Upon my entering, my eyes danced as I glanced here and there to observe a bottle of champagne, a vase - special gift selection, with romance in mind, and then I slowly turned, to observe a man entranced in arranging a beautiful creation.  It was fascinating as he arranged different flowers into a stunning work of art, and as I watched something came to mind.  He seemed to caress the flowers with his hands in forming an artful endowment, for some lucky lady.  It brought a smile to my face.  and then, it came to me. I'd seen creations like this before in flower shops of Paris. I was observing a "Master Florist," completely involved in a creation of utmost beauty.  An Added observation at departing was the colorful delivery van, which caused a commitment from memory of little van cars, hand decorated in like manner, and delivering flowers to romantic Parisians.

      As you'd expect in such a romantic setting, the man is not the boss.  The owner duo, Henry and Sherry Fiser have their love cleverly disguised in flowers. Henry, quietly points out.  "Credit my Wife Sherry - I obey everything she tells me to do, she is such a beauty - she is my pursuit of excellence, a passion in my life - in my work.

      With such success, comes the realization that flower s displayed under fluorescent lights at supermarkets become only flowers, and when brought home, are here today and gone tomorrow.

      It's factual; flowers can inspire the young of heart - like lovers singing sweet words of a endearment to each other.  It shows through two sets of smiling eyes -- in the Combie Basin.
