Fresh new rose
Delighting Spring,
By field and stream,
Singing gaily,
I declare your rarity – to the flowers.

I really like the way you have done that first flower, it is gorgeous, they both are, but I love the first one more.

Someone once said the fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose. So I get to keep the smells but you get the rest. 🙂

Oh I so need that rose 🙂
do you have the name? or are they two different ones ( I thought the second one was a peony for some reason) ( in that case I would like both no matter what they are…. 🙂 )

  stalk? is that the same as we are in Texas called Rose Rustlers? 🙂
  yes take notes..
  Thank you for the link, I am on my way there now on line LOLs…
  I love that name….it has a magickal feel to it, I am always curious how they got there names, what did the person hear that named it that, or did the rose tell them it was Distant Drums 🙂
  Thank you again…!

Thank you for this fragrant image and introduction to Cavalcanti. The words are beautiful. The pinks in the photograph are both powdery, pastel and yet so deep. Just like poetry. Such a great match as always.
