I am not fully sure where the challenge is here. Is it to make it look as good as possible..? To make it look believable..? To get bad luck and have your model be terribly allergic to flowers and end up hospitalized, but still survive..? One way or another, seems harmless (barring that last joke) and fun enough for people into this stuff, so, good for them. It beats Snapchat/Instagram filter spamming, for certain.
