Just wondering. I have noticed on this site now some Cuties are not giving flowers. Is it by choice or is it that the newbies do not know how?

9459Here's another flowers question. Does the number under the member picture reflect the number of flowers a member has received or the number of flowers the member has given?

216Thanks for opening up the flowers discussion. As a newbie I knew where the flowers sign in the upper right hand corner was, but not really what it represented to. Now I do and look forward to joining the flower party!
216I don't know how :{

Just click on the green flowers -- they turn orange when you have added a flower
1114I love the flowers they make me feel good & so I water the gardens of as many as I can & I also will randomly water through as many pages as I can just for the fun of it! I owe cuties so much for all you have done to help me get on with my life that watering & making your garden grow is my way of saying I am so thankful to all of you! My memory is not as good as it once was so remembering to go to Birthdays is something I am working on getting better at. I have a post it here to remind me of so many things lol. SO I shall water away lol ~hugs to all~

299559The question is often asked, "How can you tell if someone posts and does not give flowers?"
Please see the pictures. The first one there are zeros. The second picture someone has gone in and given flowers since the first capture. It was not the one that last posted though as her comment would be a zero as you cannot give yourself a flower. It is possible to give flowers to some and not to other's. I gave one flower to the one I know always flowers Cuties comments to show you what it looks like when you have given a flower vs. when you have not.
All the 0's in the flowers show that several Cuties did not give flowers. There are other ways to tell when people routinely do not flower posts.
While flowers are not a required thing -- it is much like a smile or a hug. Neither are required as you say hello to a friend -- but they are sure nice to give and receive.
I will not flower those that Spam, advertise without permission, disparage this site, criticize the Projects or other Cuties. Beyond that -- I even give flowers to those that do not water the gardens of other Cuties. Although, sometimes it is hard to post (not to mention give flowers) from my phone.
Giving flowers is a simple, very quick and free gift. It only requires a moment of your time. These simple gifts are one of the things I like about this site. I don't have to spend a lot of time to cheer up a friend and I don't have to "like" the post to give a flower.
I am off to water some gardens.
Hugs and flowers!

Thank you, Rescuer...and another smile, hug and flower for you...Merry Christmas, too!
57675I love giving flowers and always go down at least 14 if there are that many that have already commented. I think many are simply in a hurry and do not take the time. It gives me joy to give flowers to others, seems I have so little to give these days and these do not cost a thing/Lillian

Hi Lillian, We all give of ourselves, it does not matter how small or large a giving is., and your giving today struck me close to my heart. So today I give you a big hug and wish you a very Happy Christmas and a Safe New Year. Love Lorraine McNeill of Woodcroft South Australia
145791Am curious. How can you tell when some doesn't give flowers. I just assumed there hasn't been much activity because of the season. Everybody so busy.

When you comment, look at how many before you have only 0 flowers, you know by that all that is below the zero received no flowers from the above/Lillian

29801I am new, at least within the last year, and I don't have a clue about the flowers. I have clicked on flowers when I read a comment that I agree with but other than that I don't know when I am suppose to give flowers. Don't even know how I received the flowers I have.
I don't have a lot of time to waste as I am my husband's(age 88) caregiver so spend many hours taking him to Dr's appointments and just doing the necessary care giving. Plus this time of the year is our Craft Sales and I participate in three so am busy sewing, crocheting and knitting to make my product to sell which brings in a little extra money into the household. I do enjoy reading and seeing all the projects that are posted. When and if I have free time, I will try to read all the rules and regulations of the site.

Betty Its OK its just somehting that is left to say thank you so you are doing just fine. Being a full time care giver as well as running home and trying to keep a life of your own is very difficult. Doing the craft work helps keep you sane on the bad days. ( ask me how i know)
I lost my hubby last January and i still miss the fact that he is no longer there to give me hugs and praise me when i make something. As hard as the work is make sure you have some "ME" time worrying about wether you give a flower is not a rule breaker so just continue to do as you are doing its fine.
When you post something we give you a flower to saty we have read it so that you do not think it has not been noticed and also to say thank you and give you a feel good factor. Please just let us see what you are making so that we can be insired by your hard work. Hugs and a cyber kiss on both cheeks from me in absence of a flower

Betty we love having you here & I will keep you in my prayers. Your doing just fine. ~hugs Loralye~
356I use flowers to mark the threads I have commented on, so I know which ones to go back to for another look. Sometimes, I just pick someone out and go back through their posts and shower them with flowers. I know that they are very important to some people. Personally, I like to see nice comments but I feel guilty that I don't have time to make that mamy myself.

I rarely have a lot of time to post anymore -- but I always have time to give a flower to a Cute friend.

Me too, Chris, I do my best but sometimes just can't get caught up although I do try. Merry Christmas to you also/Lillian
234501I think it is a bit of both...and perhaps the time of year...sometimes it's just a quick visit and not enough time to flower everything...but I will say you can tell who isn't giving flowers by looking at the 0's that are under their comments...just sayin...it's a tell tale sign of who flowers and who does not...not sure some Cuties have even thought about that....
318489It's a busy time of year for many, so maybe tha'ts at least part of it.
23163I've wondered, too. A lot of zeros in some posts. From not newbies, because they, themselves have a lot of flowers.
32948I forget to look at how many i have! But do give them to others. However, sometimes I DO forget! It's just a little something to let other folks know you read their post & are thinking of them!
35675I just gave everyone on this post a flower. It will make some of you happy and some of you wont care one way or the other, I am in the second group.

85867New members probably do not know and for old ones like me, I forget sometimes. Often when I checked on one of my replys I see the green and turn it into orange. My brain is just a bit slower

360659they are new--they may not know--they may not have the time--I do when I have a chance to do so--I do not mean anything MEAN by it---just sometimes do not have or take the time----try SOOOOO hard but it just slips this tired OLD brain by----Love to Y'all, Happy Hanukkah. Merry CHRISTmas. Festive Kwanzaa. Happy New Year. God bless Y'all!!

You can make a new post in Chat and I will remove this one OR it can stay here.
I am with you though - many have stopped adding flowers. I think some may have forgotten the joy of giving and receiving...
Flowers for you

Sorry was not involved much except for coming to check for people's chat to learn from their experience or for free design links. I will definately start sending flowers now on.
Many new cuties must be unaware too..

We were all new once...
When I discovered flowers, I spent days giving them out. It was great fun!
