Flower Power

10 word contest Please review....thank you :)

I was sitting at the HARVEST Inn Bar
I knew I was not a mere SEEDLING anymore
I was a fully grown SUNFLOWER
my dress was in full bloom
I wanted something special for this FESTIVE occasion, so I went to my favorite boutique 'Fleur-de Paris' and in the changing room which I named the dream CHAMBER I tried on all the latest TANTALIZING and FLAMBOYANT fashions!
it was worth every penny, I chose yellow velvet petals with white brocade trim and green chiffon leaves falling to the ground.....heavenly
This was my first official date with ALABASTER,
he was a strong STURDY Yarrow, a STALLION in the plant ranking!
He hung out in the garden patch next to me, we had been talking for quite some time sharing and laughing together.....
when the weather conditions felt a little harsh, and our petals and leaves weighed down with rain drops and the wind would want to rip out our roots, he would stretch his branches to cover my weak petals and leaves, what a gentle plant he was!
I must admit I was a little nervous!
Suddenly, i looked up and there he was, tall, strong, lean..... this was the moment I had been waiting for!

You have done a great job of using this unusual collection of uncommon words, but having each one feel as if it belongs there in the sentence the way you crafted it. Some writers fall back on clichés & I love that your descriptions & ideas are fresh & original. I love the allegory between plant attributes & human attraction, plus the title is great -- a great memory of my old hippie days. I used to always draw a flower after my first initial -- that was my "signature" for decades!

Line 2: mere (not meer)
Line 4: bloom (not boom)
Line 7: brocade (not broquai) . . . (I think this is what you might've meant)
