Purchasing floral arrangements
Contexte culturel
Flowers are mandatory for March 8th. If you don't buy flowers for your female relatives or colleagues, it is seen as a major social oversight. When visiting a home (mehmondorchilik), flowers are a common gift for the hostess, often accompanied by a box of chocolates (shokolad). Bouquets at weddings are usually massive and very colorful. Red and white roses are the most popular choices. In flower markets, prices are rarely fixed. You are expected to ask 'Qancha?' (How much?) and then negotiate.
Odd Numbers Only
Always buy 3, 5, 7, etc. flowers. Even numbers are for mourning.
Use 'Guldasta'
If you want a professional bouquet, use 'guldasta' instead of 'gul'.
