    Customer photo review of Love Lies Bleeding Seeds

    Definitely a fun and interesting addition to cut flower bouquets! Mine are a lighter pink/ magenta than the pictures on the listing showed. I think the shape looks a little different too but mine might not have reached full maturity yet so the tassels probably just need to grow longer and they’ll look more similar.
