I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.

You are truly too kind Will. And as an exemplary artist as you are, this comment really means so much to me . Thank you!
Did you smell them? Do they smell pretty as the you way you take pretty pictures?
Actually yes ! I used to grow the new species of roses but they’ve bred the smell out of them. The peonies are especially lovely.
Delicious…
😉 Beautiful collection of flowers, roses or not. 🙂
Thanks Bente. Appreciate your compliment.
Really funny saying. Thanks for giving me my daily laugh. Beautiful photos.
So happy you enjoyed this Pat. I love the quote also. 🙂
Oh, Oh, Oh!!! A quote that I have never heard before. An absolute gift. Plus a lovely collection of the finest flowers…. you are the best….
I’d send you flowers every day if I could. 🙂
You do!!!! And I enjoy every one of them…
Great quote, made me chuckle into my morning coffee! 🙂 Lovely flower shots… love the third one with that lovely green background!
That is awesome ! I can totally see you doing that with your coffee. Somehow the name of that flower didn’t make it through. it’s called “Love in a Mist” and is an heirloom.
“Love in a Mist”… how wonderful, I love that! 🙂
😀 Oh that quote is simply priceless!!! And what a glorious vision you’ve put out for us today Emily. Hugs, Sharon
Oh I love spring..the dog days of summer are just around the corner.
Funny quote from such a stoic lady too. Your flower studies are beautiful. It is great time of year to get out in the garden for some photo fun.
Yes it is ! I’d photograph my garden every day, but somehow I think people may get bored. 🙂
Lovely Captures! I found a beautiful rose in our backyard yesterday and it smelled amazing too.
That is fabulous ! I bet you were so happy to find that treasure Renee.
Hysterical quote! Terrific series of beauties too Emily!
I am laughing along with you Phil. Thank you so much for your kind words.
An awesome description that made me laugh! Great photos as usual. I really love the peonies this year. Thanks for sharing!
It is true, for some reason the peonies are spectacular this year. Would love to see some of yours as well. Thanks Mark
This is one of those posts that is beautiful and yes enjoyable, with the real fun, the real joy coming from reading down through the comments to see the responses of other. It would be precious to sit in a circle to watch the reactions on each face, the subtle smiles, the out loud laughing, and experience firsthand the trail of comments. It was a joy to see you touch people with your words and your wonderful pictures.
Hi Charlie,
This absolutely incredible comment you have left on this post has truly touched me. Your kind and generous words has rewarded me more than anything could. To have someone see that my blog and work has a special quality to it is hard to believe.
Thank you so very much for the most insightful and generous compliment I’ve yet to receive. I am forever grateful.
Emily
