I'll be honest, normally this would not be something I would gravitate towards. The rose is perfect just the way mother nature intended it. But when I realized it was REAL and not artificial; the crazy kaleidoscope of colors captured my attention and I was hooked.

If you saw it in the store would you love it or leave it?
Is it gaudy or gorgeous??
