One of my co-workers just brought in some roses that she clipped from a rosebush outside her house. I have this little twig which has some rosebuds on it. I have a small pop bottle which I'm currently using for a vase. So the office is now filled with the scent of fresh flowers, as these roses sit atop everyone's desks.
If I had some potting soil and I didn't mind destroying the flower, I could probably try and breed the rose, but it't a bit of work to do so, but it does remind me how nice it is to have a plant to bring some color to the sterile office environment.
That was very lovely of your co-worker. I love the scent of roses. =)
