I've just got home to find a box of flowers left on my doorstep.
I don't know who they are from as the card just has my first name and says "to a Fab woman x".
I don't remember putting in an order and none of my family or friends are claiming them so it has to be a Fab person who knows my address.
Should I send a message to everyone I have had to my home or wait and see who admits to sending them?

"Wow lucky woman I hope you find out who they are from "
It's driving me nuts. Not that many current Fab people know my address but some I am no longer in touch with know it from when I was in a couple. For them to be sent today as well.
Come out, come out, whoever you are.

"That's so sweet!  Wait and see? Nice surprise."
I would have been happy with a text but they are beautiful purple and white things. I don't know what they are called but the box is from M&S. Each stem had a little phial of water to keep them fresh. My vase isn't doing the stems justice but the green of the vase and the purple of the flowers look fantastic.

"Thats a lovely thing to come home to
Im sure whoever sent them will be in touch,if id done the same id be dying to know their reaction "
It's really annoying because everyone has a particular way of phrasing things or referring to me and this is so non-specific. I'm not being called Sweetie, Baby Cat, Big Nose or any of the other endearments people use for me.
I want to send a thank you. |

"Wow. Makes me feel warm inside oh and jealous as hell"
It's the first time it's ever happened. I have had flowers sent by friends for special birthdays and Christmas a few times but they have always said who they are from. |

Mmmm very nice always a risk in doing that as you do not want them to think you are stalking them.
But I would love some coffee as flowers is not my thing lol |

"Aw how lovely... It's puzzling when you don't know who the sender is  "
Now I'm getting worried about a stalker. I didn't even think stalker when I opened the card as it had my first name.

"Now I love flowers and Im sure it was only intended as a lovely gesture - but that would seriously freak me out...
Having said that - Happy Birthday! x"
Thank you.
I had my official portrait taken by the Snappity one earlier. I can't wait to see them.

Mystery SOLVED!
He says that he couldn't afford a stem for each year and there isn't a box big enough as I'm really old now. The shape of the flowers reminded him of my curly hair.
His birthday is coming up so I will have to think.
Phew! Not a stalker and I can enjoy them without worry.

"Take a photo so you can remember them.
That's a good idea. I might try and hold the vase for a selfie with them now.
"
Beautiful.
The flowers are pretty too. Happy birthday. x |

"Oh and for the record I love all kinds of lilies, especially the purple Arum lily, and orchids
 "
I love the Arum Lily too.
I think it was the perfecting of the 40 minute hand/boob/bj that got me the flowers. Either that or he thinks I'm a mad but good egg.

My birthday flowers are still going... five weeks on. The blooms at the bottom have gone a little brown but last week some of the buds opened and now the rest have too.
In your experience, what's the longest cut flowers have kept going? |

That bit was solved. It's a different question now. I'm re-using.

I haven't changed the water at all. I'm beginning to think they are GM flowers.

It hasn't started to smell or even scum over. It's weird. I put a drop of bleach in the water when I put the flowers in the vase but that's all.

If they are special occasion flowers then maybe they have been treated with something to make them last longer |

"5 weeks is brilliant!! I think the longest I've had flowers is 3 weeks and they were on their last legs.
Are they real? "
They appear to be real. The blooms that were out when the flowers arrived have faded, some have gone crispy and just a few have fallen off.
The buds that have opened are as bright and vibrant as when the flowers arrived.
I hope Diamonds isn't right and they will come into my room and strangle me in my sleep.
I only realised it was five weeks as I saw the person who sent them and commented that the flowers were still going.
