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. |
