    It is ridiculous! I bet they don't last half as long either. A complete waste of money I think.

      To be honest they look quite pretty. I wouldn't pay for them though!

          Unusual and pretty looking, i bet they will be popular for wedding bouquets, i've noticed for a while that they add colourings in some shop bought flowers and glitter.... [​IMG]

            I was thinking weddings as well. I wouldn't mind a few for that purpose. I think it would be stunning if used in the right way.

            I'm not fond of exaggerated colour, nor dyed heathers etc. but i can see how these could, and would, be used as decoration in various circumstances and, how non gardeners would see their colours as 'exotic'.

            I like the colours in/of the petals and i think that's all that's attracting me to them because their un-natural look wouldn't entice me to buy them as a floral bouquet for my own home !

            They are pretty, but i wouldnt buy them though....i can see that they would be popular with weddings and maybe baby showers, things like that.

            I think they are unique and stunning ... but perhaps that's the artist in me ... :D

            Edit: What crosses my mind is how many who do not like this have bleached/dyed hair, wear mascara, have painted nails, wear eyeshadow, sport fake tans ... ? Most females play with Mother Nature .... for a lifetime in some cases, not for the life of a cut rose.
