use 'em or trash 'em

These chrysanthemums have been sitting around my utility room for over a month. They were part of a florist's bouquet I bought for other flowers in the bunch. They are way, way too flashy and artificial looking for my taste (and, as I discovered earlier, they have been dyed, which is one reason their color is so extraordinary). Still...I couldn't bring myself to throw them away and this morning my husband commented on how spectacular they were. So: I decided to use them in these blue bottles. Now I think I can throw them away!
