A Rose by Another Name

The roses are just so pretty, however I still can't

find any at the beginning or ending stage!!! This

light orange is just before it turns pink, then white.

As I was taking the pictures a beautiful red

necked hummingbird came right up to the flower

next to this one. The buzz of its wings was just

an amazingly loud hum (therefore its name,

ha!) As I raised my hand to take its picture,

it just as quickly left. I guess I startled it!

*

I thought I wouldn't see any since they gathered

around my hibiscus that the freeze destroyed.

I guess the LORD has let me know they are

still here around my roses!

I wish I remembered the name of this variety

of rose. It has so many different colors.

It's like each one has its own "fingerprint!" This

particular rose's petals started turning pink on the

bottom row and worked its way to the top.

I may have shown this picture before. I

had these plants a few years ago and I

just love the "trumpets" of this beautiful

orange/pink flower!

Spring starts tomorrow! I'm ready to start

cutting back my hibiscus, powder puff,

bougainvilla, and my night jasmine.

By mid summer, I should have many

beautiful flowers!

*

I think of these beautiful flowers as God's

gift of Love to me each day. His Love

overflows when He blesses me to

see His beautiful hummingbirds

that visit His flora!
