A Million Roses? Seriously?!?

I noticed this rather eye-catching floral display on my daughter's coffee table but it wasn't until much later that I asked how she'd gotten it. Tif told us that Ed had bought it last September to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. 

Wow! 20 Years already!


 I remarked that they looked really real.

"They are," said Tif. "It's called a Million Roses."

I touched it and yes, it did feel real. But how is that possible?


I looked it up and yes, I guess it's true. It's... uuummm... pricey, but perhaps my son-in-law was able to find a discounted price. 

Whatever the case, I do love knowing how sweet, thoughtful and generous he is.

POSTSCRIPT:
I just looked up how long a Million Roses last. They say it will keep for up to 3 years. It’s not forever.

  1. I wonder how long I might live stood up in a box with feet dipped in a "mixture of glycerin and other plant elements?"

  12. Wow! Those are stunning! I thought they were paper. (They don't look old enough to be married 20 years!) Maybe you can buy them by the number you need to represent. Now, if we can just make humans last like that with a special mixture... Linda in Kansas

  14. I do think they're beautiful and such a 'different' idea. Kudo's to him for being so unique. I had to go online and check that website... something I'd never heard of. I still don't understand how they last... but love the idea and the color he chose.
