Just picked

Winter roses again but a different colour. They look good for a short while but the next day the starch has gone out of them. Drooping all over the place!

Beautiful Maggiemae, I wish I had read your explanation before I did yesterday's photo. Also done on the kitchen bench but I must have taken 30 shots before I got it suitably black trying every setting I could find.

[Maggiemae]
