Whole Foods Rose – redux

leave a comment

All apologies, the rose project ground to a sudden halt with the release of iOS 5 by Apple. Stupidly I tried to update the first moment and it took me two days to get my iPhone back working. In that time I lost the zest of the project. To summarize the single long stem rose from Whole Foods in Dedham MA lasted greater than 10 days before it bent at the top of the stem and continued to dry. The air in my office is rather dry, despite the rose itself being in a wine bottle filled with tap water. In the end I’d give the rose a very acceptable life span of 10 days before looking kind of sad.

Whole Foods Rose – day 1

leave a comment

Saturday October 1, 2011 – a single rose purchased at Whole Foods Dedham.

It is my intention to take an iPhone snapshot of this flower in it’s makeshift vase every day of it’s flower life. Just to see how long a Whole Foods Rose does indeed last. Although the permalink indicates all from the same time period, I am trusting my iPhone to carry me through here. Let’s see how the flower lives. -j.
