The roses were the first to go. my birthday bouquet
has thinned out quite a bit. it had so many flowers; I could've easily filled two vases. there were 3 pink and three 3 white ones. this is the last one. the stem had broken off, and so I tried to hold on to this flower just a little while longer and placed it in an itsi bitsi vase. I thinks it deserves a last chance to shine.
