So you're not going to grow tulips unless you grow your tulip business.

Quietly continue to weave tulips in between stamping feet and dogmatics (nouned adjective) to say to Faldage that growing tulips in a garden takes effort,labor,care. Right now my orientation is towards enjoying and admiring them as they are about to open their flowers. But after the bloom the bulbs have to be taken out at the right time and stored in a dry dark place till coming autum.


Yes, growing tulips takes effort, labor, care, but all that effort will be for naught if the tulips don't have the genetic makeup to grow. Try it with plastic tulips sometime. A business, on the other hand, takes effort, labor, care too. And you could do it with something that would never grow on its own. We have entire businesses that are based on selling things that are thrown away immediately upon the customer's opening the packege they came in.
