Gender & Flowers

I love flowers.  I love taking pictures of flowers.  I love receiving flowers.  All of my notes from class have flowers along the sides and it seems to be the only thing I can doodle. 

I know this is weird but as we were discussing gender roles, I've thought about why I draw flowers and take pictures of so many.  Is it because they're "girly" or is it because I consider them one of God's most delicate creations?  As a girl, was I encouraged to love flowers?  If I was a boy, would I draw them all over?  I don't think I would. 

The funny thing about that is that flowers aren't necessarily feminine.  One time a guy told me that a girl gave him flowers and he really appreciated it.  I didn't think for a second that he could possibly be gay, but I could see others thinking that.  I see flowers as something that can bring joy and comfort, but if men drew flowers all the time they would be considered weak or too sensitive. 
Just one thought about society influencing gender roles.
