First off - I wondered what the word potpourri meant and found this on Wikipedia. Note the last sentence.
"Potpourri /ˌpoʊpʊˈriː/ is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant materials, used to provide a gentle natural scent, commonly in residential settings. It is often placed in a decorative bowl. The word "potpourri" comes into English from the French word pot-pourri. The French term has two connotations. It is the French name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called "olla podrida", a specialty of the town of Burgos. The word was taken and copied by the French military during the Napoleonic occupation of Burgos (1808–1813). The word pot in French has the same meaning as it does in Spanish and English, while the word pourri means rotten.
I don't believe any of the three offerings today are rotten.
1. Sweets for the Sweet.
2. Sunflower steals the show.
3. These will never fade; they're a photo. (no stinky smells here.)

DragonsLady, I looked the word up and never saw rotten but it makes sense if you ever bought potpourri! Again, thanks for your witty and kind comments! Always appreciated!
