Roses look best where they bloom, and are allowed to do so. This one has really surprised me for it has become quite big, more than six inches in diameter. The weight of the flower has made the branch droop and I had to hold it upright in one hand with the camera in the other. This bush has not grown any other buds and may not, I think, until this particular rose completes its short but sweet and memorable life cycle. What a wonderful flower!
Spring is in the air
the earth and the sky
Perhaps too soon;
for my bones
Brittle bones,
wrapped in layers
Wishing for the sea
the rolling sands
Still dreaming
yearning
Beautiful, both the flower and the poem!
ReplyDeleteTemperatures are warming here so perhaps we'll soon have flowers in bloom, but no roses as pretty as this one.
All flowers are pretty, Rita but I agree this one was quite remarkable.
