Raindrops on Roses

The Sound of Music and the song "A few of my favourite things" came to mind as stopped to photograph roses in Kinuta Park yesterday.

Roses for St Valentine's Day

A short visit to my favourite Tokyo florist - Aoyama Flower Market in Ometosando.  It was full of roses (and some dahlias).  Beautiful.  Happy Valentines.

More Roses - Orange

More roses at Jindai Botanical Gardens.  I took this photo to show the unusual metal trellis the roses were trained over to form a horizontal display.  However I chose for today's photo as there are some orange roses and I am hoping orange will indicate a Helen Haines win in Indi today.

Roses

On Sunday afternoon I cycled along the No river and ended up at Jindai Botanical Gardens.  It was very Japanese - busy (not super crowded) and there was a festival.  A rose festival.  The displays were beautiful they even had a "Rose Hall of Fame" and a rose flavoured soft serve ice cream.

Friday Flowers- Roses and Jasmine

A gorgeous offering bouquet from the flower stalls at Warorot market.

Chiang Mai is called the garden of Thailand.
