I’ve never been much for roses. When given the choice, I’ve always come home from the market with a handful of stargazer lilies. I love their overpowering scent, going as far as putting the vase next to the bed so I can drown in them while I sleep.

I have to admit this bouquet of long stemmed reds may have changed my mind… a little. I’d forgotten how beautiful they are.

But who says they need to be red?
