Went to Tagawa Gardens' "Night of Wine & Roses" and got some pictures before they started to sell the roses right at 4pm. I got there about an hour early & took some pics.

Had a major budget to watch for, so only could afford 1 rose last night. Even with the 20% discount & a $5 coupon I'd been hording it was still almost $30. I bought a Love Song. That was the absolute fastest I'd ever gone through "shopping" there. I was at the row where Love Song was, immediately bent down & was checking for a rose with a strong graft as I didn't care about whether it had any blooms, picked out one that had a good graft that I thought, went right up front to the checkout line & checked out. After I paid for the rose, I asked the cashier if I could borrow her scissors. I then cut off all the blooms (5) and gave them to the cashiers there. Popped the rose into my van & boogied out of there on my way to pick up my new chicks (I bought 5 Hybrid Cornish S/R). I was under a tight time constraint, too.

Here's some of the roses that were on the tables before it was time to buy.

Just saw this on my FB feed, and it's soooo true!!

For my Colorado Friends and Neighbors ....this is funny!!!
Jeff Foxworthy on living in Colorado.
( It was only a matter of time before Jeff Foxworthy took a couple of shots at Colorado!)
You are a Coloradoan if ...........
1. You switch from 'Heat' to 'A/C' in one day.
2. You know what the 'Peoples Republic of Boulder' means.
3. Your sense of direction is: towards the mountains and away from the mountains.
4. You're a meat-eating vegetarian.
5. The bike on your car is worth more than your car and you have your own special bike lane.
6. You're able to drive 65 miles per hour through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without even flinching.
7. You take your out-of-town guests to Casa Bonita even though you would never go there otherwise.
8. You think your major food groups are granola bars, tofu and Fat Tire Beer.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit.
10. You think that sexy lingerie is wool socks and flannel PJs.
11. You know all 4 seasons 'almost winter, winter, still winter and spring blizzards'
12. You've been tear gassed in a riot to celebrate a CU/CSU victory.
13. You can never figure out why your out-of-town guests faint from altitude sickness on a picnic to the mountains.
14 You can drive over a 12,000-foot pass in 4 feet of snow, but can't get to work if there are 4 inches of snow.
15. You know the 'correct' pronunciation of Buena Vista.
16. When you visit friends at sea level, you can drink a case of beer and not get a buzz.
17. Your car insurance costs more than your car.
18 You have surge protectors on every outlet.
19. April showers bring May blizzards.
20. 'Timberline' is someplace you have actually been.
21. You know what a 'Chinook' is
22. You know what a 'Rocky Mountain Oyster' is.
23 You know what a 'fourteener' is.
24. .But you don't know what a 'turn signal' is.
25. A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you nearly as much as a Democrat in Congress does.
26. Your golf bag has a 9-iron, a 3-wood and a lightning rod.
27. People from out of state breathe 5 times as often as you do.
28. Having a Senator named Nighthorse doesn't seem strange.
29. Thunder has set off your car alarm.
30. You have an $800 stereo in your $300 truck.
31. You think a red light means 3 more cars can go.
32. Where we're going, we don't need roads!!
33. You know where the real 'South Park' is.
34. You can recognize the license plates of all 50 states on sight.
35. Driving directions usually include 'Go over_________ Pass.'
36. You've 'checked for ticks.
37. You've dressed in shorts, sandals, and a parka with a hood.
38. You've gone snow skiing in July and.........
39. You've played golf in January and.......
40. They were in the same year!
41. You've urinated on the Continental Divide just so it could run into both oceans.
42. You know what a down slope and an up slope weather pattern is.
43. And the most important: You get a certain feeling of satisfaction from knowing that California and Texas are both down stream.
44. You actually understand these jokes and send them to your Colorado friends.
