If the ants don't destroy it, this is what that rosebud

will look like when it's a rose - deep pink to pale purple!

Gorgeous, a beautiful bloom with wonderful colour depths.

Fantastic colour. Just love the detail on the petals. I had a rose this colour but unfortunately, the 42 degree heat last summer was too much for it.

Very pretty!

Gorgeous picture. It is very similar to the one I took, just a lot of miles between. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

Oh I didn't expect that from that rosebud - must be very pretty with the flowers at different stages (and a little ant decoration).

[Pat Knowles]

I bought a linen shirt a very similar colour to this today......a very soft colour.

Beautiful, such a delicate colour.

Really pretty shot, love the softness of it. Perhaps that tiny spider will grow more and keep the ants away.

Well spotted for the spider, Linda!
