Thank you so much, Goreti!  They absolutely DO NOT put yours to shame!  Just a different type flower.  I don't like the way it feels in my hands, I keep dropping it all the time, it is too easy to melt with water and doesn't achieve the realism I like.  That being said, I have seen them on cakes that I though looked beautiful, realism or not.

Wow, Sandra.  These are beautiful.  Puts my wafer paper flowers to shame.  Funny that you say you didn't like working with it.  I thought it was just me since everyone else seems to love it.  Have to admit it is faster to put a flower together but I don't enjoy it like I do with gumpaste.

I loved the pictures of them, but my wafer paper ones don't look much like the real thing.  And that is OK as long as I am through with that darned stuff!

I've never grown them but when I worked in the florist we used them a lot. They come in such beautiful colors.

Thank you, Gali and Betty!  I didn't really like it all that much.  It might grow on me, but I sure am not giving up gum paste!  Betty, I have never seen one, only pictures.

Beautiful spray Sandra, (one of my favorite "real" flowers).
