It was while working in the flower shop in Paris that I learned to love and appreciate carnations. Don’t groan….after you have inhaled their wonderful spiciness and witnessed the beauty of the varieties they offer in Rungis you also would rethink them. As I tell everyone at all of my lectures there are NO BAD FLOWERS, only people who do them badly, including those convinced  that inexpensive can’t be beautiful.  Unfortunately, those we get from Central and South America do not have the same clove fragrance of their cousins from Grasse in France. But they last forever, mix beautifully with other flowers, have a lovely shape and silhouette, and offer a wide variety of beautiful variegated color combinations.  If they don’t have the French fragrance, so what?   A loss,  but not a deal breaker in my mind. I can also buy them in the grocery store, which is my ‘ flower shop’ in Aspen." - Carolyne Roehm</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://carolyneroehm.com/2013/12/10/the-many-colors-of-christmas/" target="_blank">The Many Colors of Christmas</a>"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CarolyneRoehm.com (December 10, 2013).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgo8THMOITEIw3aPHdJjN00OIL4vGf3GOdKBdzb8fe91mLuHirygvHZzQnCgq85ijHETXFHd_aRZ83JbfijGOW4zcJhbuTbmeZua7IxFWd7HYb03hBwuakq7REggOG7r2TowNAJGnV9bI/s1600/54c13f247fe0c_-_04-hbx-red-handle-faucet-ruhland-0510-de.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgo8THMOITEIw3aPHdJjN00OIL4vGf3GOdKBdzb8fe91mLuHirygvHZzQnCgq85ijHETXFHd_aRZ83JbfijGOW4zcJhbuTbmeZua7IxFWd7HYb03hBwuakq7REggOG7r2TowNAJGnV9bI/s1600/54c13f247fe0c_-_04-hbx-red-handle-faucet-ruhland-0510-de.jpg" width="556" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "Over the sinks, Ruhland put together non-matching faucets and handles by Boffi.
