For those who are living in the US or other western countries, you should have access to flowers at a reasonable price. Other option is to use gold flowers, you can probably get 108 small gold flowers for 1000 Rs or so. And these can be reused. Some use gold/silver coins while doing ashhTottara puuja. Dear devotess May I add some information on Swarna Pushpam ( gold flowers )which I have heard and made on the Advice of H.H Jayendra Swamygal. These flowers should be always made either of Gold or Silver only. These should BEAR either a symbol of Lotus or Bhilva leaf embossed on the COIN and should not resemble the Bhilva leaf in its actual form ( May be due to sharp edges and this is commonly sold in Chennai as a replica of Bhilva leaf -- pl do not buy this -- also there are swarna pushpams looking like Jasmine pl avoid) Before using it for the first Time -- this has to be cleaned in water and Ashtotra archana of Mahalakxmi to be compulsorily done . Such swarna pushpas can be used infinitely as gold has no dosha for reuse.
