AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

What a beautiful rose head and excellent macro shot. I like the words too, so romantic.
This is my favorite color too, though I see it as being light purple but who knows with these monitors?
Thanks for this lovely contribution to Macro Flowers Saturday.
Have a great weekend!

Simply beautiful! Do you know it's name? I planted a Blue Moon Rose this spring and they are similar in color.

That rose is just luscious. It's petals so perfect and lovely.

Thats a lovely colour - it looks to me like "Blue Moon" though I'm sure you've got many different varieties in your hemisphere compared to the UK. Blue type roses are quite sought after.


You'll never forget my post for this month - glad it made you smile - reminds me of school days lol
