GBBD January - $120 of blooms


My heart skipped two beats today- once when 2 dozen white roses were delivered to my office, and for the second time when my husband told me how much he'd spent on this gorgeous bouquet.

Bonus points he didn't even know he'd earn: good timing. Here's my GBBD contribution!


The only flowers blooming around here are cut and in a vase, but take a look to see what else is blooming around the world today at May Dreams Gardens.

  2. How sweet! I have not seen such lovely and beautiful white roses before. Just good timing for GBBD? Your birthday? Aniversary?

  3. Wow! These roses are lovely. Your smile and happiness will be worth his effort. How romantic of him! I can see that you are really the most special person in his life. The first bouquet My Dear gave to me during our courting days, I pressed the dried leaves and used it as a bookmark. Before that I asked him to write me a message first.

  4. Lovely flowers... but its worth reminding him not to come up with surprises too often. Skipping heart beats is worrying, Wendy... haha.

  8. Hi Wendy, Happy Anniversary!! I agree. Twenty years is a long time. And twenty white roses is a well deserved extravagance. Here's to twenty more, at least.

    My husband and I met in 1978 and we'll celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in August. Time just flies. I'll have to drop a few not so subtle hints about roses. :)

  11. Who wouldn't trade a garden full of blooms for a husband like yours? And that's saying a lot, coming from a gardener. Happy Anniversary!

  12. Hi Wendy,
    Congratulations! My husband and I used to celebrate the day we started going steady. I'm thinking it's February 9th.

    Those roses sure are pretty! I'm not surprised at the cost. My daughter is a floral designer at a grocery store, where a lot of people like to go, and they do a lot of weddings. I've looked at the price tags on some of the arrangements they have in the cooler. Whew!

  13. Wow...
    Those roses are so white & immaculate!
    Blessed Anniversary!

My awesome gardening friends...thanks for leaving a comment! I don't typically repond here, but I love knowing who you are so I can visit your blog as well.

btw - if you're trying to show me nude Miley Cyrus photos, sell me nikes or viagra or antibiotics, or encourage my lovely garden readers to visit your site on solar panel construction, or seo-whatevers, sorry, but I'm not publishing your comment. If you want to moderate my blog - well, I can't keep you too busy, and the pay would be horrible. And lastly, no. I'm not interested in Club Penguin cheat codes. Thanks anyway.
