It is said that my paternal grandmother was the first to make and sell straw flower garlands in Baguio. She was even featured in the old Mabuhay Magazine of the Philippine Airlines many decades ago. I have not heard any other story with such a claim.
She must have been smitten by the longevity of the flowers. Their imperishable quality and color integrity holds up long after they have been hung to dry.
Consider the everlasting. What would you like to last forever?
