Anaheim CA Flowers by Avante Gardens Florist
03 January 2008

When being a florist really pays off!

Orange County florist Rachel Rosales, a competitor with partner TK Irwin in CBS's Amazing Race, must have thought she was dreaming when given a choice between hanging a multi-piece Bollywood poster or creating a traditional Indian wedding flower garland in this week's episode.

Rachel, co-owner of Costa Mesa Florist, effortlessly strung the 108 flower lei and she and TK went on to finish in first place in the Mumbai, India challenge; earning a trip from two to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten.

I haven't spoken to Rachel since last month, but no doubt she'd say being a florist paid off this week.

The couple are now in the final four. Here's wishing that well-crafted garland turns into a million dollar lei for the pair.
