Beautiful Floral Bath Salts for Mother's Day- Or Not

I love the look of floral bath salts that include roses or lavender. However, how exactly is that good for your plumbing? A few years back I made some bath salts for a  friend. She said she really liked them but the rose buds got stuck in her drain and along the sides of her tub. They were a pretty mess. Good thing I was just testing them out and found out before I sold them that no, roses, lavender etc do not dissolve in bath water and could possibly cause a problem, or just an unintended mess. Do you really want to have to clean the tub after a nice relaxing soak? Kind of kills the mood. Now I make my aromatherapy bath salts with a pretty label and exotic, more expensive salts like Himalayan Pink and Bolivian Rose. The pinks and oranges of these salts combined with white sea salts are beautiful on their own.
