We have a half way solution in Oz, one may take "garden flowers" or "Bush
flowers", and still give to the prescribed charity. I tend to take spectacular
Banksias or other flowers grown on the farm and people come up after and ask what
they are and where they can get them. I usually carry seeds in my pocket and
little sheets of instructions on how to grow them, so people will grow their own
tribute flowers instead of buying them from a chemical based industry.
