I don't know, I don't think it was personal. Austin blooms can vary a lot with temperature. Maybe they thought that I posted the wrong rose. In cool weather, the yellow tint at the base of the petals is more pronounced, making the blooms look more peach. In the summer the blooms are more pink like the Austin's site. Perhaps they thought my pics were the wrong rose. No big deal.
I am sure that people miss your gorgeous pictures. Who knows why they deleted entire threads of pictures. Quite a few people are announcing that they aren't renewing their memberships. I am sure it is not fun being a DG moderator these days.
