Comments: When I began to attend and participate in rose shows, I fell in love with the rose arrangement section and wanted to learn more about this enchanting way of displaying my favorite flower. I had no idea what a magical world I would be entering! The hobby of flower arranging has given me new eyes on the beauty of nature around me and also eyes for the not so beautiful -"trash" that can be transformed into an object of art with the simple addition of some lovely roses! I have abandoned the malls to shop in all the local thrift stores to add to my inventory of "treasures".
