The Good Life

Well, my roses have sprouted up amazingly and the blooms that developed were more beautiful than I imagined they would be. Sadly, upon my arrival back home the blooms that were so beautiful were wilting and dying. They had lived their span and it was time to make way for the new buds to grow and develop.  We pruned (cut) the dead and dying flowers off the stems to keep the plant healthy. Although I was sad to see those lovely flowers go, I am anxiously awaiting the blossoming of the new buds you can clearly see already peeking through! Enjoy the pictures (these pictures were taken on 6/22/09).

The beautiful blooms are wilting after weeks of enjoyment

Cut the dead blooms off to make way for the new blossoms

I anxiously anticipate the blooming of the new flowers! Check back for pictures and updates!

You can see all of new buds and the petals peeking out already!!
