There's really nothing quite like a jar of roses to brighten one's day, especially when they're as striking as these. I need to always have flowers on our table--I'd go without food on the table before going without flowers. I usually buy alstromeria because I love them and they last so long. But awhile back Albertson's happened to have these incredible roses, for something like 8 stems for $3. And they lasted an entire week, apparently encouraged by a couple leftover alstromeria. At any rate, they made for a pretty picture. I only wish the store would carry them again some time.....

@yaorenliu@ethelperry@kjarn@pamknowler@tunia@olivetreeann@milaniet@eudora Thanks, everybody! Viewing the roses on black is indeed nice--I hadn't even thought of that! The photo's background was very dark to begin with, as the flowers were lit by the dining room light and the rest of the room was dark. I had to clone out some of the table top that was distracting.
