Cee’s Flower of the Day: Front Yard

Self usually posts pictures of her backyard, because she’s much less self-conscious about taking pictures there. It takes a long time for self to position her shot, and her fingers shake, so she has to find a firm surface to rest her arm on.

Today, though, she had to stop and take a picture of one fat bloom that is just about to open on one of her oldest rose bushes: a Queen Elizabeth, which she planted over twenty years ago, by her front steps. It has survived intermittent care, and grown tall and wild. It hasn’t bloomed profusely (because self keeps forgetting to fertilize) but this year she will.
