An "Irish Cream" rosebud begins to open its caramel-dipped petals.
Like the round cheeks of a freckled schoolgirl,
the pomegranates blush.
"Autumn isn't so far away," they say.
Nature has placed the sun on a stem--
brightening the garden,
making it glow.
The teacup blossoms of the "Angel Face" rose
seem to be set out for a garden tea party...
And the tea party guests sometimes have a difficult time remaining cordial
as they gather for the affair.

That Irish Cream is a striking color. You just keep giving me "Rose Envy" with your beautiful blooms. I loved the shot of the pomergranites. I haven't seen them growing like that since I was a kid growing up in Phoenix, AZ. We had a tree that grew in the alley behind our house. My brother & I use to pick them, so good! Sticky! lol
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos. I think Irish Cream is the best name for a rose that I've ever heard :)
