Stinky flowers?
Question:I just bought some roses at my local groceries and it came with some bouquet filler...like baby's breath.
The whole bouquet smells BAD- like feet.
It's very pale purple...almost lavendar (the filler) and it almost looks like wheat- the way it is on the stem, versus baby's breath that looks like tiny little flowers at the end of the stem.
Is this what smells?? I thought it might be bad water that they were sitting in, but the bottom of the stems smell fine. It's the tops that stink.
I've seperated them, but I think the poor roses picked up the scent...bleh.
Help.
Answers:
Yes, I bought them before. Its called purple phoenix and it smells exactly like some dogs have urinated on them.
Yes. Some fillers do have an odor. I've worked with dried baby's breath (there are different types) and it does smell.
