Now I've really started something. I mentioned in one of these posts that the longstemmed roses at Kremp Florist are a great deal. So of course I told everyone ... neighbors, coworkers, family ... and now they're all buying roses.
This isn't a good picture. In fact, it's horrible! The roses look smashed. Actually, they're quite fresh with a nice fragrance. Twenty-five of them for $9.95 plus tax, and there are many colors, including a curious pure white with green tint.
Best cut-flower deal at the show - and there are several florists offering it. The timing's right. It's rose time in South America - these came from Ecuador and Colombia - and Kremp and the others bought such quantities, they got a fantastic deal.
Now, we get one, too.
I bought light pink, then orange, then another orange with dark trim, and shared them with coworkers. Today a coworker bought orange ones and another bunch of dark pink. It's starting to look like spring in here. It's hard to dress up a dingy office - pardon me, oh mighty employer - but I have to say ....
Surrounded by vases filled with roses, a sweet scent in the air, I can almost forget where I am. Oh yeah. Broad Street. I tried.
