Thank you, Phil!

[magid]

I was sent flowers! Fifteen purple orchids, to be precise.

The mysterious part is that I have no idea from whom. The message on the card says it's from Phil, and the only one of those I think I know is not such a close friend that he'd send me flowers with a sweet message.

So, in case he reads LJ: Phil, thank you. Let me know who you are?

It's Punxsutawney Phil, apologizing for the weather.

Someone better be apologizing for the weather. 6 more weeks, my ass!

Punxsutawney Phil has deep pockets!

woah......
orchids? now there is someone who knows something.. orchids are waaay neater than roses.

Orchids have fascinating shapes. Just gorgeous.

Wonderful for you but very confusing. Do you know someone who rhymes with Phil? Could have been a translation error over the phone?

[magid.livejournal.com]

I thought about it a long while, and no one comes to mind. And there could always have been a transcription error, but if so, it's not an obvious one.

[library-sexy.livejournal.com]

I am assuming they had your name on the card.

This is all very odd....

[magid.livejournal.com]

The card was nameless, but the box had my name and address. I think I checked it four times before opening it, I was so surprised that they were sent to me.

Wow. I'm trying to think of other names that sound enough like Phil that the flower order-taker might have been mistaken, but even Bill is just not -that- close.

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

I fail at reading comprehension.

Fail! That's it! /That/ sounds like Phil!!

*sigh*

[magid.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I keep thinking of anyone vaguely likely to do this, and none of them sound like Phil. The closest I can get is my mother's name... but that starts with P, not Ph.

Orchids! Purple! How very lovely.

They're gorgeous adorning my dining room table. I'm almost sad to be going out to Shabbat dinner tomorrow, so I won't see them at dinner.

Dude! teh envy. Cool, this chap.

[magid.livejournal.com]

V. cool :-)

[cellio]

Nifty! I wonder who Phil is.

[magid.livejournal.com]

(I'm going to be really embarrassed if it turns out to have been my parents... There's no good reason for it to have been them, but there's no reason it couldn't've been them, and my dad once sent me flowers before.... His name isn't remotely close to Phil, however.)

Maybe this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjRCZNgL-Cg) can help you figure it out.

[magid.livejournal.com]

*grin* Nice.

Alas, for commercially-sent flowers leave fewer clues: the postmark is the flower shop's, and the message is printed.

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Would the florist be able/willing to give you any more information? Even, like, the sender's last name?

Anyway, awesome!

[magid.livejournal.com]

I could try the florist. Worst thing that happens is that I know as much as I do now :-).
