Beautiful and I love Gibran.
Thank you, Cindy for the specific name! I’ll look that up.
Gorgeous! Does the peach rose smell really sweet? I had one a while back and it was the best smelling rose ever!
I personally think the red one have more strong fragrance.
In this pic the above one is on the pink side. Usually used here for gifting or offering to the god or for garland.
I also agree with Devang that the red one probably has a stronger fragrance. I wish I had stopped to smell them. Rushing to get back home for kid’s zoom lesson and didn’t get a chance to stroll around.
Oh Diane, I wish I had smelled them! They do look fragrant, don’t they?!
Wonderful
I can smell their fresh fragrance till here. 🌹🥀
And that’s the one thing I didn’t do! lol. I might have to go back there just to smell them.
Hmmm 😊
Here it’s believed the flower that is smelled cannot be offered to god
Good thing, it’s not such thing there 🙂
We have orange, yello, white, pink and dark pink in our garden
Wow, you have a beautiful assortment of roses in your garden!
Interesting that you cannot offer a smelling flower to god. Is this Hinduism?
Yes
I’m Hindu 😃
Even the flowers fallen on the ground cannot be offered.
I personally don’t like the concept of offering flowers to Gods or as for garland. Flowers have their real beauty on the plant. Garland is a waste, because people wear them once and then those are thrown. 🤷🏻♂️
Flowers are beautiful, and I feel sad too when they die soon after picking. But they sure are beautiful as garlands and in a vase.

Beautiful roses!
Thank you, Liz! The sun was shining on them perfectly.
You’re welcome, Esther!
Very pretty and delicate – I love the quote!
Thank you!
