Why doesn't anyone ask men what their favorite flowers are?

It's no secret that many women love flowers and they let their loved ones know which flowers they like to receive the most. But giving flowers to men is not so accepted, so we don’t even know what kind of flowers they like.

Twitter user BobaFettish realized this after she found a Tumblr post that told the story of a boy being asked what his favorite flower was. The author of the post thought he would be laughed at for such a question, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the boy actually gave a serious answer.

So BobaFettish got interested too and asked the men on Twitter to share their favorite colors. She received over 6,000 replies and was glad she asked the question, in a follow-up tweet, she wrote, “I have to say, I think this is my favorite topic. I love listening to everyone's stories and memories related to flowers."

The topic has really grown into a very useful space online where men share all kinds of flowers they like and explain why they like them or what memories they associate with them.

You can also consider this topic educational because some men have shared very exotic flowers that you don't see every day, showed pictures, and wrote down the names so you can find them and maybe add them to your plant collection at home.

According to the Petal Republic, 73 percent of the men surveyed said they really appreciate flowers, and 88 percent of men admitted that they feel happy when they give flowers.

And here are the flowers that men like, based on the answers.
