Some say it's sad that the flowers wither. I say it's a good thing. Flowers are a kind of reminder, a timer for our love. By the time they fade it's a reminder it's time to say "I love you" again.
To the Buddha, flowers were the symbol of impermanance and the transitory nature of human existance, which effects everything you can see or touch,,,,all of it will pass away in time.Nothing lasts, We are dust in the wind.
The only way to deal with it is to escape the wheel of karma by transcending old age, sickness and death via meditation and eventual enlightemment.
Enlightenment or nirvana is available to every human being, wich means a cessation of suffering.
All of this represented by a single flower blossom.
No one will help you unless you help yourself.
Your entire history is hit and run. Do you ever reply to your vanities?

If somewhere in the universe plants are sentient beings, would they give their lovers the heads of dead animals and say “I love you”?
By the time they fade it’s time to get new ones or shxt can them and move on.
Some folks dry the flowers, smoke them and post strange vanity threads.
You should fade away. Take the day off, somewhere far away off.
Get some artificial flowers.
Just needs occasional dusting : )
