One Mans Trash Another Girls Treasure

  When visiting my friends flower shop he tossed two sprigs of tea roses in the trash and I didn't hesitate to dive right in after them!  He said they were on their last leg but I knew I could coax some life out of them.  I put them in the refrigerator and was able to finally spend sometime on Saturday taking their portraits.  The blooms are only about a quarter in size, one sprig he had tinted with pink and the other was plain white.  I used my extension tubes, window light and had a marvelous time with my dumpster diving treasures.
