Okay, ladies, I have a really interesting fact for this thread. It is not so much an Alpha Gamma Delta fact, but a flower fact.
We're all wondering what a "buff rose" really looks like. So go ahead and do a search for something called a "Lady Banks Rose." It is a true buff rose that you can still buy at a nursery.
Here's the interesting fact: The "Lady Banks Rose" holds the Guinness Book World Record for the World's Largest Rose Bush. It was planted in 1855 by a homesick bride in Tombstone, Arizona, home of the Gunfight at the OK Corral.
I've seen this rose bush many times! It wraps halfway around the block. Just think, all this time I thought that I would never see a real buff rose when I've admired that darn rose bush my entire life! (Did I ever tell you girls that I lived in Tucson for several years?
My parents still live there and I go back all the time.)
