Today's Flowers # 16

My friends Luiz, Denise and Pupo run the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 7GMT is the post time.

I bought the wife some pink roses with Babies Breath and took advantage of new flowers to post. The roses are a dark pink with a light pink outside. I tried a few artistic looks at the flower. This was cropped and the background colored black.
I had the above photo turned into a charcoal sketch.
This is a single rose close-up from above and cropped.
The final one is a side view close-up. Roses are neat flowers. I do hope you enjoyed them and you can see a lot of neat flowers by going on a trip through the world of flowers.

I think It would have been the last one for me - I wish I had it!

As George said, he grows hybrid-tea roses. So--I'm BLESSED to have roses on our table 3 out of the 4 seasons.. He sneaks a new rose blossom into the house and puts it in a vase on our table most every morning to surprise me. I love pictures of roses, but having the REAL THING is the best... Great pictures though!!!!

Oh, we are getting romantic this weekend! Good for you and your wife. I love that deep, deep lipstick pink color.

I chuckled at Cathy's comment: "..you are getting a lot of mileage from one bouquet!"
