 A
thousand words cannot convey what a delicate rose
can, to win someone’s heart. When all words fail, a
fragrant bouquet is the best gift one can give to a
loved one. It can even do wonders for the ill.
Whatever the occasion, say it with flowers.
Flowers have their own significance in every
culture. In the west, flowers of various colours are
chosen for different occasions. White flowers given
to the bride and groom is an old tradition, while
red flowers signify love and affection. When
condoling with someone, a person usually presents
the family with a white bouquet.
There was a time when there were not many flower
shops in Pakistan and the people would ask the mali
working in the garden next door to make a small
bouquet. However, times have changed since. A number
of flower sellers have set up their shops in
Islamabad. Islamabad’s civic body, the Capital
Development Authority (CDA), has allocated the
florists, who used to do their business at various
open spaces, permanent shops close to Super
Market, Jinnah Super Market and F-10 Markaz. A
host of buyers, from all walks of life, come to
these tin-roofed outlets to buy flowers and
bouquets.
