Hello and happy Saturday. It's still warm here in the south and it's still the middle of December. I am finding that some flowers are still blooming as well - some, like the camellia, should bloom now - others, like roses, usually don't bloom this time of year. This one, however,
is a winter rose, and, from what I've researched on the web, may be one that goes as far back as 29 BC, in a town called Paestum in Greece. The poet, Virgil, even referred to these flowers' beauty. You can read a little more about this wonderful winter rose at http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/paestum-rose/. I have learned so much this year while doing this blog. It's so amazing to find a rose in my neighborhood that could date back to 29 BC!!
I hope you had a beautiful and amazing Saturday. Thank you for looking. See you tomorrow.
