Question
I was the maid of honor for my friend's wedding and I want to bring the bouquet I carried. It is a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses. I am concerned that they may not let me bring it to the US. I heard that only flowers that are marked "secured for US" are allowed. Please if anyone knows the answer let me know.
Answer
I think that you can. But DONT carry it in your hand or your carry on. I bring avocados back all the time.. And most roses that we see in the US are from Colombia anyway. I dont see why not. Or, why not get them dried in Colombia before you go.
