Brandon 4 | 4 20 May 2011 / #1The last day of my Polish class is coming up, and I want to bring flowers for my teacher. I don't know much about this tradition so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction- what kind should I get? I don't want to mess up and get funeral flowers or something.Dzięki
pgtx 29 | 3094 20 May 2011 / #3true... those you buy for funerals/cemetery...and no roses, those are for lovers...any other flowers are fine...
OP Brandon 4 | 4 20 May 2011 / #4Thanks guys. Someone else said roses but it didn't sound right to me.

Magdalena 3 | 1827 20 May 2011 / #7Just get a big bunch of daisies, lilies of the valley, or something else that's cheap and cheerful :-) It's supposed to bring a smile to her face, not make her love you (I assume) ;-)

z_darius 14 | 3960 20 May 2011 / #10A few "rules" to be aware of:- make sure they are (relatively) fresh cut, no dried stuff- chrysanthemums - best for cemeteries, funerals- carnations - bring associations withe the commie era- no potted plants- no artificial flowers, no matter how good the Chinese factory is- always an odd number (even number brings bad luck)- red roses good if you want to show a sign of love, but never on the first datethat's all I can think about.
