Answer 1

i think they do.

Answer 2

Poor Aussie... I think spring has got you into trouble!

Some people here want to crumble you like a flower ...or maybe cut you and stick you in a vase. Am I one of the few here who likes flower questions?

As for this one, I don't really know the answer but I have read and learned for myself that plants in general respond very well to a loving treatment (as just about any living creature does, even koalas), so if you take good care of them, they will thrive. So, I suppose that on the other hand, they will suffer, yes ... dunno, maybe ... who knows???  

Answer 3

Why?!? What are you planning on doing to those flowers????

Should we begin being concerned...must we hold an intervention :-o

(there is a fine-line between passion and obsession mate)
