[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Flowers are messy and covered in pesticides and a lot of people are allergic to them - I stand fully with the hospitals on preferring balloons.
The mylar ones, not the rubbery ones -- those sometimes have latex, which a lot of people are allergic to.
I got to campus and realized I'd left all my class notes at home. Luckily, I had time to drive back home and get them, but still, ugh.

But latex allergens aren't airborne - you'd have to touch the balloon to have a reaction.

I remember seeing some article about how hospitals didn't want latex balloons -- also something about how they could be a hazard if they popped or after they deflated. I don't remember all the details.
You don't want to let the mylar ones loose outside, though, because they're hard on power lines.
Also balloons kill turtles. Send a card!
The latex ones shouldn't be let loose outside, either, because when they deflate, animals can choke on them.
Send a card made of post-consumer recycled paper with soy ink!
Send one of those plantable cards! The ones with seeds embedded in the paper, so that you can put the whole card in some soil and water it and flowers will grow!
Wait. We started this with the problems with flowers. Hmm.
