Roy's supreme success to date, during our less than two years of marriage, is his Queen Elizabeth rose, planted in this the year of the original's diamond jubilee.
Here are the first two blooms, surpassingly beautiful and perfectly pink. |
As is his custom, Roy picked his best to bring in the house. It stayed alert a long time. |
There have been other beauties, such as the rununculus on our deck last summer. |
And Roy's old-fashioned, deep pink roses that, with encouragement, bloom all summer. Note the blueberry pancakes made with wild Maine berries. |
