I don't even care if I'm being unreasonable or that this this isn't even a proper AIBU because I need the world to listen (particularly anyone who is in purchasing in retail/garden centres) so I'm looking to get the message across via AIBU.
I buy a lot of plants for the house and garden. At this time of year I like hyacinths for indoors but WHY are there never any white ones left but there are tray upon tray of garishly coloured ones. It's because white ones are MOST POPULAR so stock more of those and less bloody blue and pink and purple.
It's the same for outdoor plants like geraniums - there's always loads of salmon pink, red, pale pink but such a shortage of white. You're lucky if you find one at the back. "Oh yes" says the assistant "we had some white ones in but they all went really quickly - they were in that empty tray there. We've got plenty of garish ones left though......."
Foxgloves? Yes you can take your pick of lemon, orange, purple but where have all the white ones gone? They've sold out because they're POPULAR. So buyers, when you're ordering for next year order five times more white ones.
Or if you are a grower, grow loads of white ones. They sell out first because people like them most. And guess what else? If there were more available they'd all sell out too.
Yes have a few garish colours by all means (a few people must like them although not so many judging by their constant availability) but when the white flowered plants go like hot cakes then clearly you need to take notice and stock more of them.
And this has nothing to do with racism before anyone is ridiculous enough to suggest it is. I just prefer white flowers inside and out for a calmer more relaxing environment. I don't want orange, blue and pink flowers clashing and hurting my eyes.
I'm not enabling voting as I don't care whether anyone agrees with me or not - I know I'm right - garden centres and supermarkets never order enough plants with white flowers. Buyers take note and stock more white ones. Rant over!
