Rose colors in the presidential campaign
Sen. Obama placed a pink rose in the reflecting pool at ground zero in New York. Sen. McCain, a yellow rose. Is there significance in the color selections?
According to Florapedia:
Yellow -- The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.
Pink -- As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness. Pink rose bouquets often impart a gentler meaning than their red counterparts.
Just in case you wanted to know. (It's about as relevant as lipstick on a pig.)

Relevancy means that no matter the color of the rose, if a lipstick-wearing pig eats it, the end result is the same!
John, should we also point out that McCain isn't wearing a US flag on his lapel? The HORROR!

You think they placed the roses they were handed by one aide or another? I think there must be a rose conspiracy. And it's obviously caused by your liberal media.
