{Perfect Petals}

"Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reason to stay" -Dalai Lama One of the small pleasures at work is taking petals off roses for weddings that request their use for decoration. Usually there is a mix of different colors and shaped rose petals. The flowers are usually a bit older and have added texture and darker contrast from aging. When there is a lot in the box, I take my hands and run the petals through my palms and fingers. They are soft and beautiful. A Rose Petal salad.
