No matter how much you dress it up.
If that is what you receive, suggest that you mix it with leaves and lawn clippings, put it in a pile and let it age a few months. The resulting mixture will help you to produce many more pretty flowers. Success is not so much determined by what you get, but what you manage to do with it.

The old saw goes, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade." It's a step in the right direction, but maybe a better choice would be to open a lemonade stand!
