Past their prime

Am I the only one who things flowers are more interesting when they get a little crisply around the edges?

[Connie Little]

I agree, they do.

[Casablanca]

You're both nuts! Actually, there is a certain amount of appeal, but I probably prefer them fully blooming and full of life on the whole......nice shot.

[Richard Sayer]

No you're not! They are the same as people - they may get a little withered round the edges with age but remain beautiful.
