A bit of a crop got the photo just where I like it too!

4. Thank you so much, my dear CrispyQ!

I've been watching it for a couple of days, hoping to get this photo.

I was going to get my Olympus camera for a really great shot, but I was too busy!

Always have my iPhone. . .

I wish I could smell it too, but it's a good 10-15 feet above my head!

5. What a delicate pink!

I like the back-lighting on the outer petals.

Thanks for sharing!

We're still doing wintry weather here, I'm just glad my bulbs have waited until now or whenever they come up.

6. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

As I mentioned to CrispyQ, I've been watching this rose for several days, and today was The Day!

And I just noticed the back-lighting too. I really did not expect my iPhone to perform this well.

My pleasure to share, as you know.

8. I'd like such beauty watching over me.

Love that the bloom is looking down and not reaching to the sun. Better view to enjoy. Thanks for posting, as always, Peggy. I love that you spread the joy of nature.

10. Wow, my dear badhair77!

I appreciate your very kind words. I too love the way the rose is facing! It's wonderful to see.

Whenever I see something beautiful, I always try to capture the spirit. It's what I do--it's who I am.

Thank you!
