The Flower Business

Oh hey I realised I didn't mention about Chris' idea to buy flowers for our anniversary and for us to do an arrangement together. He figured it wouldn't make sense to pay someone else to make it so he said I could teach him and we could do it together.

So I took the opportunity to send a mass text message asking if anyone was interested in buying cheap arrangements from me as part of my practice for I know that I'd end up with extra flowers from our floral purchase.

So our friend Jonathan reserved one for his newly-married wife Karen. Unfortunately I bought the wrong roses from the wrong distributor and ended up with stale roses which dried up fast and ended up blooming at super sonic speed. It didn't help at all and was very demoralising when we did our arrangement 1 day later.

The white roses were yellowing and some were dead and the pink roses were too bloomed and some were rotten. I was very devastated. My only saving grace was the perfectly gorgeous pink hydrangea we bought from the other supplier which was more reliable. Those were from Holland and were fresh! It is still in my house right now... lasting for 1 week already.

Here are some pictures of the arrangements.
