FLOWERS

One of the garden beds at the Norfolk Botanical Garden.  My photos were taken a while back.

The two flowers that took my attention were the pretty pink Globe amaranth and the yellow Garden dahlia.

Not a lot of time today so a short one.  I set up my posts ahead of time for this week.  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

A FEW ROSES FOR YOU TODAY...

 and quotes to go with them.  I have added links on the names of those who wrote them.

“The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove.”  

~John Boyle O’Reilly~

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”

~Abraham Lincoln~

“What a lovely thing a rose is!” 

~Arthur Conan Doyle~

“Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there’s a seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes a rose.”
