Dying Rose

Someone gave me a rose as a thank-you.  I stuck it into a jar where I was rooting a shoot from a plant I have. They thrived together very nicely, but now the rose is pretty much dead and many of the petals have fallen.  I haven't touched it, I like the way it looks and I knew I would get a photo of it sooner or later. If I can get motivated, I'll try to figure out a few other photos with the dead petals and what's left of the rose on the stem.

I'm grateful for:

beautiful nature

Dying Yellow Rose

My roommate was ready to throw this bouquet of roses into the trash but I rescued it just in the nick of time.  I was on my way out of the house today when I decided to finally get a couple of shots of these flowers.  

Not a great set-up but at least it's something before they die much more. 

I might try a few more shots in the next couple of days.  

Today is the end of a  V.E.R.Y.  busy weekend.  I don't like to wish my life away, but I'm really glad these past three days are coming to an end. 

My heart is grateful today for:

The beginning of a new week with an almost clean slate...

Tulip or Amarillis?

This is part of the decor where I'm visiting.  It was purchased as what looks like a wrapped bulb of some sort with the guarantee that it would bloom around Christmas.  And bloom it did.

It's a beautiful red flower and is a great part 

of the house decor.
