A few years ago I bought a plant for Georgia from the Rainbow Fair. A piece broke off and I put it into this chinese-style pot which I think originally was Melva's. It grew and had a beautiful and unusual flower, then last year it was sad and didn't flower at all but seemed to acquire lots of old dead parts. This year however, it is happy and has had this beautiful delicate flower on a weird long stem. It makes me smile that something can be so ugly and so pretty at the same time.
I wish you could all smell the beautiful perfume from these roses. They are Eiffel Towers, once intended for Maree's block only to end up being planted at my place. The smell is divine, they have the best perfume of a pink rose, and my lovely yellow Fuschia rose has the best perfume for a yellow rose.
I don't think there is any better way to start the New Year than with some lovely flowers from the garden. The weather has been kinder this year, lavishing us with rain and the bees have been busy little fellas. May it continue.
