Valentine's Day is Monday February 14

100 Rainbow Roses came to Saskatchewan for Valentines Day and we got 50 of them and they went fast!

Lumsden Florist etc.


Rainbow Roses Are Extra Special Flowers For The Extra Special People In Your Life

Rainbow roses are exactly what they sound like... roses in the colors of a rainbow. They look like a box of crayons had babies with a bunch of roses. 

They were designed by Peter Van de Werken, who owns a flower company close to Den Bosch in southern Holland.  Rainbow roses are real roses, but they can't be purchased as a rose bush.  They are only available as cut or dried flowers. 

These special roses are made by inserting dye into the stem of the roses while they are growing, which results in the color being absorbed by the petals of the flower.  They are not easy to make, as they take a bit of careful engineering.   Rainbow roses are used to create unusual and striking floral arrangements, wedding bouquets, and they are often given as gifts. 
People either love them, or hate them.
There is no middle ground with these brightly colored flowers in shades of blue, purple, green orange, pink, and yellow.

How Much Are Rainbow Roses?
Lumsden Florist etc. had rainbow roses in brilliant arrangements and various price points during Valentine's Day 2011.  For example, 6 rainbow roses in a bouquet of greenery starts at $68, and 1 dozen rainbow roses can cost as much as $165.

Overnight Cinnamon Bun Recipe

These couldn't be easier.  Whether you've tried to make bread before or not, this is a super easy, lazy way to make a nice treat.  You can easily double this recipe and put a dozen in the freezer.






1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
4c flour                           Rub these ingredients together.  For low calorie, omit ALL the butter. 
1/2 c butter                     You might have to add a splash of milk to compensate.
shake of salt


1tsp sugar                                      
1/2 c lukewarm water         Mix sugar in water.  Sprinkle yeast on top and let rise 10 minutes
1 Tbsp yeast (any type)


Add: yeast mixture, milk, beaten eggs, to flour mixture.  Mix well.  Place in the fridge for the night inside a plastic bowl with a lid.


In the morning: sprinkle flour on your counter and a little on top of the dough.  Knead for a minute or 2.  Add more flour if sticking, and using a floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4" thickness in a rectangle shape.* Spread with butter, as you would toast.  Rub brown sugar into the butter with a spoon - about a cup.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and roll up into a log.  Slice the log into 1" pieces.  Place pinwheel side up in a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  


* Alternative to cinnamon buns: spread rolled out dough with your favourite jam and 1c shredded cheese.
*For Pizza Buns: leave out the 1/2c sugar in the dough.  Proceed as normal.  Spread rolled out dough with a little pizza sauce, oregano and Parmesan cheese.
