Roses are red, violets are blue. Instead of saying sorry, I got these for you.

That's right. Today's episode is about flowers because they make everything better.

From apologies to anniversariesaries even our mental health.

Hey that's pretty good. It's not just good it's great. It turns out flowers can be

delicate and beautiful yet also strong enough to change your state of mind and take over large

swaths of our planet even after getting a late start.

You underestimate my power.

But don't worry.

Once you finish listening to this episode, you'll never underestimate flower power again.

Put on your gardening gloves and know what all is because I'm going to give you all the dirt I dug up on flowers.

Hi, my name is Bella, and you might know me as... flowers. And each episode I'm going to help you become a know-it-all about something new.

Here we go.

One thing I love about this period in history is that our reality TV has been reinventing itself over and over again.

Case in point, the new Netflix show, The Big Flower Fight.

Ten pairs of amateur floral sculptures from around the world are coming together to battle it out.

Run, run, run, run.

Teams will create supersized structures festooned with flowers and foliards.

When you think of flowers, do you also think high stakes competitive fight?

Yeah, me neither.

But after watching, I have to say it's like chicken and waffles.

An unexpected yet awesome combination.

Mmm, yummy.
