Gladiolus and Daisy soon knew that their love was a deep, inseparable love. A connection that would never be severed. The two met again in their garden, and played around together in the lakes. As they laughed and spent countless hours together, Gladiolus asked Daisy what she thought about her own world.

Daisy simply gave him a warm smile, and told him that there was nothing in any world that she would give this garden away for. Flooded with joy, Gladiolus responded with the same. There was nothing in any world he would throw away their garden for.

Many countless days passed, and the two would spend immeasurable amounts of time together. They would run around in the fields of grass together, bathe in the lakes together, climb the highest mountains together, and simply keep each other company in the home they had built together.

One day, as they are sitting in their home together, Daisy asks Gladiolus if he would ever leave for someone just as beautiful. Gladiolus grabs her hand, and without a single moment of hesitation, he tells her that he would never love anyone else no matter how beautiful they may be. Gladiolus told her that there was nothing more beautiful than her. Absolutely nothing.

As Daisy cried tears of joy from hearing this fact, Gladiolus held her close and assured her that no one else's beauty mattered to him. It was the beauty within Daisy that he loves, and he would never trade it away for anything.

As the two began to make love within their home, a new flower would bloom once again in their garden. The two walk to their garden much later, and to their surprise, they notice vivid purple orchids had taken form. It was a sight to behold.

The two held each other, simply watching the flowers they had grown together.
