I wanted to share more flowers from Oregon’s International Rose Test Garden. It was a challenge with the lighting — of course it was sunny for once. I still enjoy the wide variety of colors found in these gardens.

What beautiful flowers! Amazing there are so many varieties. As for your flights of awesome birds, your pictures really capture the symmetry and gracefulness of their journeys.

The great thing about the test garden is that it smells wonderful — they even have sections dedicated to growing roses to find the best smelling ones.

They are delightful and so pretty! Roses just makes me smile. But their thorns are something else!

I agree…which is why I prefer to take photos and not touch them.
