Roses in November – The tough ones

A visit to local Arboretum.

If the rose puzzled its mind over the question how it grew, it would not have been the miracle that it is.~ J. B. Yeats

Help: Name the flower

Recently I got these beautiful flowers in my garden. The plant is about a foot high. I sowed or rather spreaded a packet of mix flower seeds a couple of months ago. I was doubtful as got them in a super market quite cheap.

Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel towards what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much ~ William D. Hoard.

Repose

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own ~ Marcus Aurelius

Repose

A little change of position,

gives a better vision,

and satisfaction.

I try it often,

and rarely regret.

Change is important,

to see better.

Shades of yellow: Hard to ignore

The earth laughs in flowers ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.~ Marcel Proust

What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. … In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.~ John Lubbock,
