Songs About Flowers

This could easily be an extremely boring post full of happy little tunes about flowers. But that's not how I roll. Sure, there are a couple of predictable choices here, but there are even more "outside-the-box" songs to give you all kinds of feels. Most by really well-known artists, too. Enjoy!  ~  JH
