Oudalova told HuffPost Weddings, "The groom was Indian and the bride was from a mixed Spanish descent.

Cut-flower garden means Mom (or Dad) always has fresh blooms [Published Denver Post - May 10 2013]

"I have a couple which are over 30 years old. One is an asparagus fern, purchased in 1979 on a trip to Williamsburg, Va. This now is a very common plant and I see them everywhere, but back then, it was something new and it caught my fancy. It is carried in and out of the house each year according to the weather. I also have a Christmas cactus that I started from two small segments collected in wet paper towel from a friend back in 1976. I have watched it multiply over the years into a very beautiful plant. I have heard of some houseplants being passed down for generations. I would love to hear some stories from other people who have elderly plants."
