Today’s rose has a name I love - Bee 🐝 Scene
It’s a floribunda- it has a yellow centre which graduates to orange then red at the edge of the petals.
And YES bees love it - it opens up beautifully to give them good access to its pollen

The world is an uncertain place at the moment- this rose is a reminder of what’s gone before and a reminder of old men in power and what they can do to young fit men and women
This is Poppy - named after those famous flowers in the fields of France.

Opened my lunchbox today full of freshly picked lettuce leaves 🥬 and hubby had placed one of the last of the billington plums on top.
It was a lovely surprise for the first Monday back at work 🥰🥰🥰

Salmon pink - hybrid tea and fragranced.

Today we have one of my roses - this is solitaire. A couple of years ago it almost died. I struggled to keep the scale of it. Since we moved to our new house - it has flourished- even though it’s in a pot
It’s almost as tall as me

We’ve had heaps of wind overnight here in Wellington and a few of the net bags have come off the plums - so I’m busy renetting as they are getting ripe.
These are black Doris plums.
