Actually, I understand that Bazza lives several hours away from London. There you go Rich, maybe you have a day trip!

I'll be in London on Friday, if you want to get some flowers from me. :)
Hey, why is there no London meet ups any more when I am in Britain? Dang. Bazza... what should I do when I'm in London?

Thanks for your help guys. Rich, I will be in the Big Bamboo, Bi Yun Road, Pudong Shanghai on Friday evening if you wish to collect your prize.

I did a google search and a translation I found is simply:
说它是花
Looks like a title of a science paper or something though:

My guess, and just a guess is:
用花表达你想说的
yòng huā biǎodá nǐ xiǎng shuō de
(use flowers to express what you want to say)
or
用花表达你的感情
yòng huā biǎodá nǐ de gǎnqíng
(use flowers to express your feelings)
Those are the sentences that come to mind, and I am guessing that 表达 is the best way to say "express, convey, voice"
Hope someone can verify if I can say it that way, and if not (or if a better way) which way...

Actually already have a day trip to see another friend I knew when in China, and that will take a train a few hours out of the city too...so, as much as Bazza is wonderful, not doing another trip... ;) However, if anyone is available Sunday or Monday evening in London... LETS GO TO THE PUB!
