This just might be the most outstanding of all of Ellie's roses this year. The light purple that you see in the background is the hydrangeas you saw yesterday (the heat shriveled all of the blossoms; no amount of water could save them). The mesh in the photograph is a window screen.

@k@: Thanks, Karine. I had been on pins and needles waiting for days for the results of some medical tests (good results); so my honey put this gorgeous rose in a bud vase next to the recliner where I often sit.
