It's nice to keep special flowers like that. I have a bowl full which date back to my son's birth and include petals from every special bouquet since. My other half calls it my "bowl of dead things" and finds it highly funny that I tip it from one bowl to another in order to clean the original bowl. Just to keep this On Topic, I should say that the bowl is an enormous blue glass one which fills the centre of the coffee table, it's modern, and probably mass-produced, but I like it and it's big enough to hold the "dead things". :lol:
