Consider the lilies of the field.....

Not a lily, but still something to consider.  A wild rose growing in the rocks by the side of my county road.
Impossibly pink.  Golden yellow center.  Leaves that give a wonderful contrast to the pale rosy beauty of the flower.
If I were designing a flower that spoke of late spring it would be the wild rose.
Its glowing color and simple form speak of shimmering days and star-spangled nights that lie ahead.
Summer.  Can you hear the flower whisper?  If you listen carefully you will hear it say," Summer.  It's just around the corner!"

  2. Indeed. This one was growing out of the cement we dumped by the side of the road. Amazing!
