Rose

"A rose, by any other name would smell as sweet."
- William Shakespeare

I purchased these beautiful roses on May 8th, way before the expensive Mother's Day bouquets were on display. I loved the mixed colours of apricot, peach and orange. My favorite is the Apricot, on the left, which has become paler as the rose has matured.  They will certainly look as pretty for my birthday tomorrow!

Alas, the sunny period will not continue from tomorrow and we shall have rain and cooler temperatures.
