A few years back, flowers were a novelty that many Nigerians had only seen in movies or read about in books, and the idea of receiving flowers felt quite foreign to us.
Flowers are not just a gift given to women but also a symbol of love, affection, and romance, and have been used as gifts since ancient times and are considered to be one of the most beautiful and meaningful gifts in the world.
This week we asked women across Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria to share their first experience receiving flowers as gifts from their partners, friends, and other loved ones.
