The growing trend for guys is a holdover of the bold florals and botanicals normally reserved for warmer months. Orchids, roses, palmettos and carnations are blooming on everything from shoes to sweatshirts and T-shirts to ties. But will this burgeoning movement take root with the everyman or wither on the vine?
