Roses in movies?

Have you ever noticed how many roses or flower arrangements or florists you see in movies? I never used to notice, but in many movies and I do mean many you see a florist shop in the background.

Bed of roses, roses at funerals, buying roses from the street vendor, scenes in New York of corner floral shops. Now you are thinking, wow it's true that is weird.
I don't think we understand how much flowers are in our lives. I think we are so used to seeing them that we almost don't notice them.

Remember the old saying take time to stop and smell the roses? Well we should. In many oriental homes you are greeted by flowers. Many people offer them as a tribute to a deity in their religion. Hawaii offers you a Lei at many places.

See we don't really notice them like we think we do. Artists have been inspired by floral beauty and created masterpieces about them. Songwriters have written songs about them. Yellow Rose of Texas ring a bell?

We use them in fabrics for our homes to add that special touch. We use them in perfumes and so many more things that it really is overwhelming when we stop to think about it.
