Did you know that a florist charges $5.45 for a single long stemmed yellow rose? Is it just me or is that ridiculous?

These things can't be that hard to grow... I think I'm going to start trying. Sheesh.

It's expensive to ship them up here from Brazil and 90% of them die before they get here or shortly after.

I know where you can get great fertilizer.

I think it's the yellow that costs the extra 2 bucks. I bought a red rose recently and that was $3.

And i'll fertilize your garden for half the price of whatever L.E. is offering

The Super Wal-Mart I do my shopping at (and the grocery store by me) usually has a great flower case and I can get a single long-stem rose for $2.99. They don't always have yellow.

Call around to a couple different florists. There is one across the street from my office that wanted $38 for a very small peace lily in a black plastic pot, plus $10 delivery. I got one for $28 including delivery from another florist in town.

I know Albertsons usually has roses, but only red usually. Sometimes they have white mixed in with an arrangement of red, but never yellow. I just went to the first florist I passed and figured it's worth the convenience.

I can go to Aldi's Markets and get ONE DOZEN Roses for $ 6.00. It seems that the only present I can give my wife that will not be returned or complained about.
