Head Bowed

July 5, 2019 by Lili Saintcrow

The ketchup-and-mustard roses (planted for the Princess’s best friend) are aglow, but most of them have their heads bowed from recent rain, hail, and wind. Battered but still beautiful, their finery damp but still incandescent.

I haven’t had much time in the garden this year. There’s always next spring, though.
