Distant relatives of mine are actually successful flower growers in Cameron Highlands. They have been in this trade long enough to venture into crossing roses and creating roses of various non-conventional colors like blue or orange.
Naturally, I also picked up the art of planting roses. Anyway, one Valentine's Day a few years ago, my cousin came to my house to ask for a dozen roses.
I asked him what color of roses he wanted, and he said he wants blue roses. I thought he would say red roses but he said he wants to stand out from the crowd by giving blue ones to the girl. He said that the girl has never seen blue roses before and will forever remember him. Wow, that is so romantic!
After that time, my cousin will always come for various roses whenever he wants to send roses to his girlfriend.
Now, this cousin of mine is very stingy. He comes to me for free roses. One year, I had to leave town and he couldn't get my free roses.
When I returned, I asked him if he gave any roses this year He said that he managed it, even without my roses. Turns out that he gave the girl plastic roses that his mom use to decorate the living room!
My, how stingy can one be??
