Five Years

I'm celebrating 5 years of blogging! I started during COVID with a photo of a non-native rose (which is still going strong after giving it to a dear friend), which reminded me of my Mom.

Interestingly, my currently flowering native Virginia raspberry (Rubus odoratus) is almost the same color as that rose. I adore this gorgeous plant.

Here is my first ever post: 
Roses always remind me of my Mom. Though I'm not particularly fond of cultivated flowers, it's the association with her that makes them notable. This one was left behind by the previous homeowner, and now lives in a pot since it doesn't fit in with my Natives-Only garden theme.

I love the pollen dust on the petals!
