Spring is fully underway now in London. And nothing crowns this season more, than the arrival of the most royal of flowers - the Rose. Roses are blooming like crazy in the different parks throughout London, and the British are crazy for them. The parks here have these amazingly beautiful flower beds featuring some of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen.
There are these amazingly dark red roses, and then some varigated roses that go from peach to pink.
And the dark red ones smell amazing. . .
It is a wonder to see them go from small bud to giant flowers that are bigger than my hands. And strange to imagine that only a couple months earlier, the plant appeared as nothing more than twigs sticking out of the icy mud.
I've never been a flower person, but the longer I am here, and having survived a rather bleak and dark winter, the blossoming roses become a real treat.
I've even seen the dogs stop chasing the squirrels to give the giant blooms a sniff.
