Were the flowers better under the Clinton administration?

Happy Valentines Day to all. On the lighter side, I would like to rant about the sad shape of flowers. As usual I was looking to get some roses for Olive Oil for Val-Day and literally spent 30 minutes staring at the selection. There were about 40 dozen reds (the only ones I was interested in) and I looked at each at least twice and most 3-4 times. There is always, always at least one bad rose in each bunch. Our anniversary, Olive's birthday and Val-Day come 3 months right in a row. Each time the selection was bad. I was on the brink of grabbing the florist and demanding they take apart a few dozen to combine to make one decent dozen, when I saw a 99% good set. One rose was open just a bit more than I cared; otherwise it was nice.

I seem to remember a few years ago being able to find good flowers (without paying an arm and a leg at the florist). In fact, the florist is an arm and a leg and their selection was also garbage in December. I think it was during Clinton's administration when the flowers were so good. Don't say I never said anything good about Clinton.
