Brady’s bunch: QB knows language of flowers

January 23, 2008

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady carried a white flower arrangement Monday on his way to Gisele Bundchen’s NYC home, according to BostonHerald.com.

The bouquet was a mixture of ferns, baby’s breath, white carnations and white roses. Mono-color floral bouquets, especially all white, are very in right now.

Brady is reported to be a big fan of flowers, or more precisely, of giving flowers to the women in his life, whether wooing them or wanting forgiveness.

Larry Bornstein of Olympia Flowers in Boston and Brookline, olympiaflower.net, was quoted as saying: “It could be that he was busy practicing all week and didn’t have a chance to see her.”

David Winston of Winston Flowers in Boston, winstonflowers.com, said when it comes to love, most of the time, “you can say it with flowers.”

Flowers also make statements about peace. In an online photo gallery this week, photos.mg.co.za/view_photo.php?pid=2766&gid=171, was a shot of a remembrance flower at a ceremony commemorating the 65th anniversary of Stavropol, Russia’s liberation from German forces.

And the Associated Press today reported that photographer Bernie Boston has died. Boston, 74, was famous for “Flower Power,” a 1967 shot of a Vietnam War protester putting flowers in soldiers’ gun barrels. The photo was a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize and is known throughout the world.
