Today’s Flowers: A Rose


I took this photo last month while waiting for my son’s bus to arrive. We were in the parking lot of a girls’ high school, and my husband (he can be a bit of a joker) was asking my six-year-old what she thought of the school. It is down the street from the high school that my son is now attending. It is nice that someone at the school cares enough to have pretty flowers in front!

Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for featuring flower followers who share photos in a fun fashion.

It IS nice that someone grew these beautiful flowers near the school. I, too, recently took some photos of roses in a school yard and I thought it was nice that it was there.

It is very nice that someone took such care to have a beautiful flower bed near the street. The rose is gorgeous, and the bright pink flowers make such a nice background for it.

Very lovely rose. I, too, think it's nice to have flowers around the school.

Such a nice gesture on the part of someone who wants the school to look like a friendly place and not an institution. Beautiful picture of the red rose with the pink flowers in the background - I like that colour combination.

One single sensation!
I also like the pink flowers behind the rose. Their dark centers seem to pick up the red in the rose.
The rose appears very healthy - someone takes a lot of care.

Really nice shot. The redness, the amazing quality of the flower, shows well. You are right about liking that the school has a garden with flowers. Very important!

Yes, planting flowers outside a school can make it feel more friendling and inviting, less like a "factory." ;-)
