Also, even though those 'chrysanthemums' couldn't have been anything but gerberas, they had rose foliage on them. Gerberas don't have any foliage on the stem, and the plant foliage looks nothing like a rose's.
I know I'm being picky, but for some reason this is really getting to me????
If you're writing a florist story, know your flowers!!! Chrysanthemums, gerberas, roses, and lilies are all basic "step 1" flowers, they're not even complicated or unique.
Like, it's fine if the normal person doesn't know these flowers (I didn't either until a few years ago), but a basic google search will nut it out!!
(haha, I know I'm unreasonable, but I can't get this out of my head lol) (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I agree. Chrysanthemums are pretty common, And i see them a lot in real life. when i saw this i was just like what??? what are these flowers??? why do they not look like chrysanthemums??? also asters are not long stemmed, so you cant make a bouquet with them???
she does grow flowers by magic so i guess our common sense does not translate to her world?
"Can you make an arrangement with chrysanthemums?" - Makes a fucking arrangement with ONLY gerberas.
Like, I'm not expecting everyone to know every flower, but if you're writing a book about a florist, the least you could do is get the (two of the most basic) flowers right.
