the flower project

Everyone should have at least 2 projects designed to change the world. Here's one called The Flower Project. The Flower Project has three very simple rules. They must be followed. There are no exceptions. If you don't like the rules, then get your own project and stay away from moi's.

The Flower Project.

Rule 1. Give someone flowers. Anyone. There can be no gender, race, or ethnicity restrictions to the gifting. The rule only states that you have to give the flowers IN PERSON to someone who is either a friend, or that you wish to be friends with. That's it. Ok. Let's review the very important rule number 1.

There are NO strings attached to the flower giving. NONE. So if you're hoping to give flowers in exchange for example, sex, or the promise of sex, well then that's a different project altogether called courting. You can still do that, and it can be part of the flower project, and moi definitely encourages you to do that, it just can't be the ONLY part of the flower project. Since there are no strings attached to the flower giving then when you give the flowers to someone other than your mate, spouse, or lover then they have no reason to be jealous. Unless you're hiding the fact that you're doing it and then that's a whole different project altogether and it's called deceit. The Flower Project is transparent. Also, you can't limit the flower giving to members of the opposite sex. You have to give to both sexes. Nor can you limit the gifting to any particular race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Yes, this is going to be difficult for some of you, but remember, there are no strings attached to the giving so this can help prevent confusion. Remember there is a simple goal in mind with the Flower Project and that is TO CHANGE THE WORLD. Anything less is a different project.

Rule 2. You have to grow the flowers yourself. Anyone can buy flowers and buying and giving flowers is a very nice sentiment, but altogether a different project. In order to grow flowers you have to go into the world and be part of it and thus you are extending the project beyond the bounds of the act of giving and The Flower Project strives to be extensive and far-reaching. Don't worry about what kind of flowers to grow and give away because there are thousands of varieties and you can grow flowers anwhere, in a shoebox if need be. Once you grow some flowers and give them away you will find that it absolutely DOES NOT MATTER what kind they are. People love getting flowers. So grow on now.

Rule 3. Considered by some the most important rule. You cannot use any inorganic pesticides and/or synthetic fertilizers in growing your flowers. They have to be grown organicaly which is really, really simple. Put all that shit designed to kill the world in the hazardous waste disposal bin and start loving the world again.

That's it. 3 rules. Lot's of flowers. Change the world.

Example Application. These flowers, mostly native prairie plants with a few hybrid versions of them, were grown on the grounds of the World Wide Anthill Headquarters in Kansas City. Although sometimes difficult to intially establish, once established, prairie plants -- unlike their more domesticated, hybrid cousins -- are incredibly drought resistant and tolerant to all sorts of misery like late frosts. I picked these flowers for my friend Deb, who lives in California, which is a long way from Kansas City. Close readers of the rules will immediately note that this a violation of rule 1 - you have to give them in person. However, note this. It's moi's project, and moi, unlike you, can change the rules at any time. If YOU want to change the rules, then you should get your own damn project.
