Name your florist

Rerun of a Modern Family show in which Cam and Mitchell are planning their wedding and they can’t decide on which florist to hire, but they want one with a clever name — how gay is that? — and entertain Floral and Hardy and Florist Gump. Groan: Laurel and Hardy, Forrest Gump.

    #14 is a little odd, as most people don’t think “thistles” when considering purchasing florists’ wares. (Thistle flowers are in fact quite lovely, but their reputation is mixed at best.) There might be locales in which #18 isn’t a great idea either.
