TODAY'S FLOWERS & Weekend Flowers - 'Gold Bunny'


What would the world be without roses?

Through rain, wind and storm 'Gold Bunny' blooms
and blooms, even in mid-winter


while pruning my roses, I glimpsed this golden array
high on the fence


with a trick of the light, this lower, rain drenched bloom 
had magically changed colour


a trusty rose lending a spot of colour in a bare garden.

    Nice flowers!

    I would say that central Australia is one of the few places that actually exceeds the kind of things the tourist guides say about it!

    Cheers - Stewart M

    Beautiful - even in midwinter to have roses :-)
    For us, the frost takes away the flowers and buds last.
    But I admire some, how long they persevere...

    Such a beautiful rose -- in any light. I'm amazed that it does so well in your winter. At first glance, I assumed you'd pulled a picture from your archives (that would be OK anytime with me, but it is even more amazing to think that this lovely flower blooms all year round!)

    So pretty. Yellow is a cheery color. If I could, I would paint all the walls in my home this color. It would surely enhance my mood, I think. Take care, my friend. ♥

    Lovely yellow roses and shots too.

    Thank you so much for the cacti seeds, it's very kind of you, but I don't think I have any more free space at the moment! :-)

    What a lovely shade of yellow and oh yes, I do love roses, and their fragrance...makes me drift back to my childhood. Momma had rambling roses and climbers that had magnificent blooms and they smelled like heaven to earth. Have a glorious week my friend~

    I thought you'd be eulogising about the Lindt's Gold Bunny when I saw your post title - but this is MUCH better! In some ways ...
