Flowers that won't wilt

I decided to make the mom's (mine and my in-law) a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day. I mean you buy flowers, and they just waste away. So I thought ones that would hang around for awhile would be better.

Here is the bunch before I put the floral tape to em.





This is with the vase and the glass rocks. Also with the tidy little bow.





And here, we have a pair.






I crocheted the flowers. They turned out pretty good. And I started the gauge swatch for the new project I am going to start. I'll show that when it's finished.
