Thanks for stopping by, Robyn. I saw these roses at the Holiday Inn, in the larger ballroom, at a vendor more in the middle of the room on the north side. His booth has a lot of stretchy bracelets and various bling bling. The roses were in a tray on the west side of his booth. I also saw vendors selling coral roses and lotuses in the gem mall, but I was so lost in there I couldn't give any better directions than that. Good luck. Hope you find what you're looking for.

When fully ripe, jackfruit is full of big pods that each have a seed in the middle, like a p...
