The last bloom of the season, just after the rain. The Mermaid rose is an aggressive growing rose bush with vicious thorns.

Rose in the Window
In one of my art quilt classes, a fellow student put a rose in a water bottle and set it on the window sill. I loved seeing it there every day.
A Rose Indoors
This is my first attempt to photograph a flower indoors, against a black backdrop. I bought the rose at my grocery store along with the black construction (or poster) paper.
I only had one floor lamp (usually used for sewing) shining its light onto the rose and now that I post the photo, I can see the flower’s shadow. Funny how there are so many things I don’t see until I post a photo online. It goes along with not seeing any errors in an email until after you have sent it.
Here is the rose two days later, using a white background.
Yellow in the Spring
I hope Mother Nature isn’t fooling around with us. Our Lady Banks roses are in full bloom. They usually bloom in mid-March. A late, hard freeze would be devastating.
Bee in Grandmother’s Garden
On my quarterly visit to the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange, Texas, I always visit Grandmother’s Garden in the lot next door. We’re still having mild weather and a few flowers were blooming.
I love flowers with bees in them.
It's a long story ...
