Sue I love your rusty. Where did you get your kaleidoscope from?

I took the picture of Kaleidoscope at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden here so I don't own one. Only about 1/2 of the ones I posted above are mine.

Nice red rose. A russet?

Yes, definitely a russet rose. It's never red. It starts out a rusty orange and then ages to the classic russet-brick color.

Love this blast from the past, back in the day when it was one photo per post!

Ah, yes, Dave continues to work wonders.

The individual posts did, somehow, make each rose portrait seem more valuable, though.
