I bought a dozen orange roses and a bunch of yellow Freesia and made a really nice (if I do say so myself) bouquet in my deep blue glass vase.

Mom likes oranges, yellows and reds, so while I don't like orange, myself, it went over very well with her. It certainly looks beautiful in the blue vase.

Personally, I have loved Freesia ever since my Dad's funeral. Someone sent this huge bouquet with was mostly white Freesia and it smells really heavenly.

We are both surprised that Benjamin hasn't mangled the roses, yet. Perhaps the Freesia smells so strongly that he won't go bear it?
