A Rose....

....that's seen better days! I bought these on Dec. 24th., and many of them still looked good when we left for Arkansas last week, so I changed the water and left them on the table. When we got home yesterday, Tom asked what the awful smell was--turns out it was the water in the vase which smelled really putrid, but the flowers, although all dried out, really retained their shape, and almost looked like they were made out of paper. So one of them had to be my entry for FlowerFriday8! :)
