Plastic flower! That's the ticket! A plastic flower with long-lasting Chinese lead-based paint.Evo said:Hmmmm, "my love for you is as brittle and temporary as this glass flower that can shatter and break at any moment".
I think he needs to be urged towards something a little sturdier if a symbol for longevity is what he's after.
tribdog said:I asked why he wanted a glass rose and he said because he needs to get an orange one and a green one, which are her favorite colors.
I know that white carnations set in a glass of green food coloring will turn green. I don't know how quickly or evenly roses would pick up the color.Moonbear said:Have you told him yet that florists usually have roses in many colors? They might not have a green one at a moment's notice, but a peach colored one would be close enough to orange, and could probably be arranged with something else green...florists usually have lots of other green things.![]()
Of course, as the day gets later, he may be putting a granny smith apple and an orange on sticks and handing them to her.![]()

Moonbear said:Probably not fast enough. I seem to recall that being an overnight project. Florists can simply spray a dye onto them. You don't really think roses come in colors that match every bride's choice of wedding decor, do you?![]()
Back in the days of hippie elopements/casual weddings it was pretty standard to enslave the bridal entourage to cut daisies (in season) or to apply diagonal razor-cuts to the stems of purchased white carnations and set those suckers in water with lots of vegetable dye. The next day, they looked great. The colors didn't have to be uniform in intensity - a little creative arrangement of pale/dark flowers worked wonders.Moonbear said:Probably not fast enough.

tribdog said:he decided to break up with her instead.
Cyrus said:Well, that does last forever too, but I'd still go with getting her pregnant.
mcknia07 said:Yeah, that's the way to do it. Get a girl prego and break up with her on her b-day, she would never forget him then.
tribdog said:I'm sorry, I hate it when I lie like that. It's a sickness. He didn't find a rose, but he found something else. I don't know what.
Darn! Still not carpet-broken?tribdog said:he's 15. I doubt his relationship will make it a year. I doubt I'm seeing his mother in a year.
