”Birds do it. Bees do it. Flowers . . . lead you to it.”

So read the sign over the LaSalle Flower Shop at 731 N. LaSalle St.

The lines came, by way of Cole Porter, from the shop`s business manager, John Murrey. Whenever the sign needs changing, he comes up with a new rhyme.

”It`s just something I play with,” Murrey said. ”It`s only a hobby.”

Oh, and the other side of the sign?

”Flowers arranged, from exotic to strange.”
