Marquis de Lafayette bust
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: As we celebrate the bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of the United States in 1824, my arrangement features the colors of France and the United States and 24 red roses representing the number of states visited by Lafayette on his historic reunion with his American admirers. My design is on behalf of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Friends of Lafayette.
Recipe: Roses
