A Rose is a Rose, Even When It’s Really Feathers #WordlessWednesday

What you see is not always what you get.  Who knew you could use a bunch of feathers to create a rose?

I didn’t even know when I bought this flower that it was comprised of feathers instead of pretend petals.  My daughter saw it when we stopped at a gas station on the way down to Florida to see my mom for her birthday last weekend.  

her: “Can I buy that for Grandma?”

me: “Nah, Grandma has lots of flowers.”

her: “But it’s her birthday.”

I couldn’t argue with that one…so we bought it.  It was a couple hours down the road (and a few hundred miles) before I realized just how unusual this rose was.  This feathery flowery is a good reminder that things aren’t always what they seem…sometimes they’re worth a closer look.
