 In the poem "Song of the Flower," Lebanese poet-philosopher Kahlil Gibran wrote, "I am the lover's gift/I am the wedding wreath/I am the memory of a moment of happiness/I am the last gift of the living to the dead/I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow." Field of Flowers simplifies this sentiment in its company slogan: "Flowers make people smile." And who could argue? Whatever the occasion, be it love, death or reconciliation, Field of Flowers has the right bloom in the right color and arrangement. For people who prefer to make their own bunch, the store keeps buckets filled with fresh-cut buds, including beautiful long-stem roses sold at prices low enough to make anyone break out in verse.
