No Vase

Last night we were invited to dinner with friends. Since it was our first time to their house, I went to the flower shop to pick up some flowers to bring with us. I picked some pretty, bright-colored daisies and he set to work arranging them. After he had the bouquet all put together (and I really need to get a picture of one sometime, they are something else), I started to peruse the different kinds of vases. He saw what I was doing and told me that with these flowers a vase wouldn't look good. Since I didn't really agree, I kept looking. He told me again that it would not look good and said that he would give me something else that would look better for free. He gave me a small basket (almost like the kind that you pick fruit in). I am not really sure how the vase didn't look good and this did.... but I was done arguing with him about it. I just went home and picked out one of my own vases to give them in. ;-)

Then in true China fashion, I loaded my flowers into the basket of my bike and rode home. Sorry I don't pics of all this, but use your imagination.
