Default Flowers in Jane Fonda advert?
Hello, I don't know if any people on here have seen the advert on TV with Jane Fonda extolling the virtues of some brand of skincare? Well, what I wanted to know is what type/name of flowers she is holding in the big bunch? They are absolutely gorgeous and I would love to be able to grow some. They are big headed flowers but I can't say how to describe which flowers they most look like without being wildly off the mark. So hopefully there is some keen-eyed flower expert out there who will be able to help me.

Haven't seen it so can't help - isn't Jane Fonda now a semi cripple or is that some other early phase fitness queen I'm muddling her up with?

I'm pretty sure I know the ad, but don't remember any flowers; I'll keep an eye out now though.
I'm not sure about crippled, but I'm not sure she was the right person for the 'age-defying' product she was advertising - if you get my drift!

I think she looks excellent for her age to be honest! She used to do fitness video's and must be in her seventies now surely?

If all of us ladies had Jane Fonda's money, we'd look brilliant at her age too - bet she's never had to wash a dish in her life

I know what you mean about the flowers.... they caught my attention more than Jane Fonda did - only problem is I didn't pay ENOUGH attention to know the variety.... I'll keep my beedies out now...

Hi, I think they're Peonies, I took more notice of the plants than I did of Jane Fonda as I can't believe she's advertising creams to keep you young looking after all the plastic surgery she's had in the past!

She used to do fitness video's which kept her waist trim. The skin from her waist is now round her neck as she's had that many skin tucks so it should be in reasonable conditiion!

Think she also had 2 ribs removed to make her waist smaller too, or is that an urban myth?
