The old rose petal trick...born of necessity rather than romance. Actually its a great VD move instead of anniversary.

The day before or VD itself, go by any florist shop. When they prepare roses for delivery, they strip the outer petals for them to stay fresh longer. When in college, I really couldn't afford flowers one year but I made the above discovery while passing a mom & pop florist. I asked if I could have the discarded petals. They said "fine" and gave me a garbage bag full...for free.

Went home, changed the sheets on my bed and covered the bottom sheet with rose petals and made my bed hiding them. We had a modest pasta dinner and I could tell she was disappointed I didn't have flowers for her...that is until I got her in the sack. VOILA!!!!! Instant erotica....quite sensual.

For the coup d' etat, I had piled them on the blades of the ceiling fan over the bed. After getting all sweaty, I went over and turned the fan on.... and she had a fesh cascade of rose petals.

Must have worked because she gathered them up the next morning and kept them in a cut glass bowl for the longest time.

Chicks also dig them floating in a bubble bath.

FACTS to note....rose petals are edible. They also stain linens. And carpets. and body parts.

It seems decadent but it costs nothing.
