| Soooo pretty...the petals look very fresh! |

| Gorgeous as always, Boxo! The fan is cool but why on the fence? |
|
| I love your colorful bouquets, the blue and white add so much, they are so pretty. Your roses always look clean and healthy, not a blemish. Your Queen Elizabeth is so lovely, one of my favorites. Love the Abe Darby too, they are all gorgeous! |
|

| I couldn't help, OOhing and Ahhing all the way down the column. Thank you for the lovely blooms and ignoring the scorching heat, to give us pleasure. |

| Even hotter for us in Seattle, Portland is usually +10-15 degrees. I really love Brandy....almost buckles my knees. I think I told the story earlier about why I bought my first one. I backed my truck into my mail box facility one hot Friday afternoon just as a murder/suicide was being committed. The shooter decided not to include me but the owner was not so fortunate.
