A double delight rose in full bloom, almost completely lipstick red now, with some crispy brown edges on the petals from the afternoon heat.

Gaura, also known as beeblossom has pink petals and long white stamens. It sways in the breeze and some people call it whirling butterflies. The foliage is green, but the emergent buds are a lovely magenta.

A double delight rose in full bloom. A bit of yellow in the center, mostly lipstick red petals beginning to get dark and crispy at the edges.

Getting a bit crispy around the edges on this warm Autumnal afternoon. Still delightfully fragrant!

An unexpected greenish yellow bud begins to bloom with dark purple petals on another slender purple stalk. Beech trees and blue skies in the background with a few wispy clouds.

A red heart shaped rose petal has fallen on the counter from a bouquet featuring a yellow sunflower with a velvety brown center. Bits of white babys breath flowers can be seen in the lower left.

The double delight rose is becoming decidedly reddish, with only a hint of yellow remaining in the center. The fragrance is amazing, even from several feet away.

It is never too late to learn something new, Jen. It is a skill and just takes practice, like anything else...maybe now that you are in a different phase of your life, your tension might be completely fine 😊
