An Austin-rose from my garden...
*****
My Pretty Rose Tree
A flower was offered to me;
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said I've a Pretty Rose-tree.
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
Then I went to my Pretty Rose-tree:
To tend her by day and by night.
But my Rose turnd away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.
William Blake

Mit den vielen Knospen neben der offenen Blüte wirkt Dein Bild sehr optimistisch. Da wünsche ich mir, dass sich alle Knospen noch entfalten. VG von WalterWolfgang Keller 2. Oktober 2011, 10:43

Such a wonderful soft pink in many nuances in those layers and layers of petals - gorgeous ... and the promise of several more blossoms to open up. Fine how you have photographed this beauty, Angelika. Thank you for your Sunday gift.hugs, Adele
