Why 'lonely bouquets' are popping up around a town
Jodie Warren, from Merthyr Tydfil, was out walking on her baby’s due date to try to get "things moving", when she came across the lonely bouquet of tulips.
"It really brightened my morning and felt like such a coincidence that I had found them on such a special day," she said."I was feeling impatient and wondering how much longer I’d have to wait until he arrived and the flowers felt like a sign or message that he wouldn’t be long... then I went into labour the next day."Lowri Yates had been hoping to find a bouquet after seeing them on Facebook, and it turned up when she walked into a local food business.
"I almost didn’t see it but then it caught my eye just as I was getting through the door. When I found the flowers I was so happy and a little bit too excited," she said."I look forward to seeing the lonely bouquet posts each year and how happy they really do make people." Lisa Cooper found the flowers on a Bank Holiday Monday, but chose to pass them on to her mother who has not been very well.
"My mum was so pleased to get them and she was very shocked that this kind of thing is being done," she said.Image source,One staff member found the flowers and put them in Gwaunfarren Primary School's staff room to brighten people's day"As a member of staff I thought it would be nice to put them in the staff room to brighten up our day," she said.
