Affluent Flowers
April 15th, 2008 by Kelson. Posted in Signs of the Times and tagged for flowers, Irvine, signsWhen I first spotted this sign, I just couldn’t believe the name of the florist at the bottom.
Okay, I’m sure people with more money send more flowers, but it seems a little tactless to point it out in the shop’s name.
Of course, it is Irvine…
