The Copenhagen Interpretation is that both types of flowers exist in operator space, satisfying a generalized time dependent wave equation which I'd put here for you if I could show integral signs and greek letters and bra-ket notation. When Katrina made an observation of the flowers, she constituted an operator acting on the superposed wavefunctions, causing the wavefunction to collapse as its rose manifestation.
The Many Worlds Interpretation holds that the flower function exists in many parallel universes, manifesting in each as a slightly different wavefunction (flower). In our universe the flowers manifested as roses. In a parallel universe an analog of Katrina received other flowers.
I am simultaneously pleased and weirded out by how much of that Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_tensor) article was quickly understood.
I wanted red tulips, but they were too expensive, so I ordered multicolored. I already knew that tulips are your favorites.
What color are the roses?
I hope I get some bosus points for good intentions, even if they didn't get carried out as planned. See, I have good reason to doubt the delivery service, like I did yesterday.
I think people just have a burning need for every adult to be in a not-single romantic configuration, and therefore really want a flower delivery to mean budding or blooming romance.
.. you should see people twitch when redrita sends flowers.
Well then if every flower delivery means budding romance, I should warn you that I've been wooing three other people besides you. I hope you're not jealous. Some of them actually got tulips, too.
I got flowers, therefore I'm special, therefore jealousy doesn't enter the picture. :-p
... Eliza will be heartbroken. Even though she's never met you. How dare you display affection for someone else and not include her? Well, not so much include as make it clear that you love her best of all. *grin*
Bring a flower or two home, give them to her, and tell her that I sent them specifically for her. Pick an orange or pink one. Tell her that I love her best out of all the seven-year-olds I know.
