Since you won't be selling or using the photo commercially, they'll *probably* be okay with it though. Just be sure to ask permission first.
Purchasing something, even the smallest cheapest thing in the store, is a nice expression of gratitude in return. Or simply a brief conversation, a smile and bright toned "thank you!" as you go. Don't lose hope! Flowers hold such great meaning in our lives, we humans like to find ways to keep them closeby.

Lookin' forward to taking some flower photos tomorrow.. who knows, maybe can some industrial goodies too.
For now, just wanted to offer those ideas to those poor souls who are still soulbound (I pity you wholeheartedly.)
