When I lived in Italy, all the little town markets had a flower stand and I was forever fascinated with the blue roses they sold. They were always so impossibly blue and they painted the edge of each petal with fine, gold glitter. 12 year old me was so in love, haha. I know they just watered them with blue dye filled water...but they were never streaky, always so solid and rich. I don't remember all the trinkets and odds and ends they sold each morning...but I've never forgotten that beautifully perfect blue. I don't buy roses usually. It makes me sad how quickly they die. So I was excited to find out about these various companies that sell roses that last 1-2 years! What a gorgeous concept to take something so fleetingly perfect and fragile and make it last....like something from a dream ❤ . . #oneyearroses #beautiful #perfect #dream #memories
