Imperfect Roses.

At our local Kroger, they almost always have a bin of discounted flowers sitting out front. Most of them look slightly wilted, and some have discolorations or other blemishes that deemed them not worthy of full price anymore. I love this bin. Every Sunday I buy flowers from this sale cart, and two weekends ago I picked out these roses. A dozen for four bucks! They were a lovely pink color, but had some brownish discoloration around the petal edges. I took them home, and they have been slowly opening and becoming more beautiful. And they have lasted over two weeks.

Pretty great purchase, I must say.
