"I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses...

One for every time you broke my heart."
This song is before the "I never promised you a rose garden". I think this song was famous together with "Paper roses".
I don't know what year this song was famous but the melody keeps ringing in my ear.
This morning I was again so overwhelmed with the bunch of roses in the garden that I took pictures of them. This was before I drove the car to the shop for some adjustments.
I also posted these bouquets in my Facebook wall.
Happy Rose-ful Saturday to us all.

fuchsia rose looks like the escarlata especially if it is velvety in texture. we have pitimini yellow roses too.

@hereandthere hehehe! but the butterfly is not black or dark-colored my friend. it was in a santan flower and it went to my finger when i placed my digit near it. the butterfly was of medium size, yellow and black colored, and usually flies around.
if it is the soul of a loved one, the butterfly, for me, should get inside the house, and it should rest in on something. especially if it is black and big.

yes indeed, butterflies and bees hover around them. there was one butterfly of medium size that even landed on my lft index finger while it was sucking nectar from the santan flower. i placed my finger near it and it shifted and stayed there for a minute until it flew when i tried to take my phone to picture it.

oh, so the song is your LSS, my dear friend? LSS here means Last Song Syndrome, or it is the song that keeps on singing in your mind. 
it is usually in May that the flowers bloom, or spring in your country i believe

That is a great bunch you have there. Roses need a lot of care. How do you look after them?

courtesy of my big brother. he is reviving the rose and orchid garden of my mother. before the typhoon, we had roses, but they were all uprooted and destroyed when the wrath of Lawin came to devastate us.
