Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup? Anyone use before?

Has anyone used these before? http://wildhibiscus.com/ I think they look so pretty & would be a unique touch for a bridal shower brunch I'm hosting. Would love to hear some feedback!

Update:

Here is a link that sells quantities up to 100 flowers for $65! I wish I'd had these at my own wedding! http://www.bushtuckershop.com/category1_1.htm

The website states this is an edible Hibiscus originally grown as a dessert garnish. Only 3 ingredients are in this - the flower, cane sugar & water. I did some add'l research & found that it's not uncommon to use certain species of hibiscus for tea, syruped drinks & jellies. Interesting! This may be my new hostess gift as well.

    Absolutely gorgeous idea -- kudos for finding such a gem! And yes, hibiscus is quite lovely in teas, so definitely a tasty option in champagne. I think I may have to steal this idea for a dinner party... ;)

    WOW!! How unique! I have never heard of this before, but it looks so elegant! Also, very inexpensive! I know as a guest I would love it and would be talking about it for quite awhile!

    Oh i've seen these!! Someone told me to do that too... the flowers open up when you put bubbly in the glass and slightly flavor it... or something :) I've seen them in a shop too and aren't super expensive for a test run!
