Happy Anniversary to TODAY’S FLOWERS!

I haven’t been able to participate in TODAY’S FLOWERS for a long time, but I wanted to wish the creators of this blog theme day all the best on its one-year anniversary.

To see a wonderful collection of flower photos, take a look here.

Oh! Does anyone know the name of this flower? I took its photo way back in June. It’s no longer in bloom. I no longer see it in the park.

Ed. Note: Thanks, all, for letting me know that this is a Lacecap Hydrangea. I love to learn something new everyday.

I saw this Beach Rose (Rosa Rugosa) in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. It had the most heavenly scent. Just heavenly.

Visit TODAY’S FLOWERS to see other flower photos. Have a great week.

Portrait painting by Joanne Giesbrecht of Thistledown Arts

Thanks to everyone who left me comforting messages here and emailed me privately when my dog, Cadeau, died. I appreciate your kindness very much.

Thanks, Joanne of Thistledown Arts for the wonderful surprise portrait painting of Cadeau. My family and I love it and it makes me smile every time I look at it. Thanks so much.
