New Beginnings
Until recently, this rose had been living in a pot at my boyfriend’s parents property in Emerald. It had never flowered, and when we brought it to our place, it was almost dead. I’m not much of a gardener myself, but he’s managed to get it to flower after a couple of months care. It now has four flowers, and the whole plant looks extremely healthy.

This is gorgeous, Erin! The graininess adds character to the pastel nature of this subject! Great stuff (may not be to everyone’s taste)!

This is a very beautiful photo of a very beautiful flower. You must have given the poor plant a lot of TLC for it to flower like this.

Thanks so much, that’s such a nice comment to make. I can’t take too much credit for it flowering, I might have watered it a couple of times but it was all him.
Metamorphosis
:) you captured the beauty/purity of the rose… & it was shared care- you & him- that made it flower :)

Congrats to both of you! The zest and zeal of both of you and of the plant itself is showing! The flower itself is most beautiful at its center, as if plant is preparing for the new beginning! Perfectly titled!
