My Flowers That Are Dear

I look around me walking down the street on warm May days, and flowers I can see. So many lovelies – for my eyes a treat. But they are not all in my memory engrained, so how they look I can’t define as well as flowers that I see each year - like those that bloom right now, which are divine. They are my roses, and for me so dear. My teacup roses have a dark pink hue while almost all my other roses are dark red, but towering in plainest view is one that has just bloomed – my super star - the “Blue” whose color violet is rare. I love to stand in front of her and stare! May 20, 2021 For Brian Strand's All Yours (Jun 10) Poetry Contest

This is wonderful Andrea. I have a beautiful rose called angel face that blooms in the most beautiful lavender color. Has not bloomed in over two years and I am trying to coax it to return. This time this year to do well in the contest. Blessings xxoo

Poor me. I have only one small red orchid that is at its end. Can't grow roses though. Lovely images.
