Rose sighting!

I am back after a long hiatus in the blogosphere. I hope to keep posting regularly, but often stuck with the clichéd phrase – “Writer’s Block”. Heh Heh….Anyway, here I go…

I have always been a lover of Nature, and will always be. May be, that is also the reason why I love gardening. Any plant that I do not know about, always arouses my curiosity. I am intrigued by its nature and that drives me straight to Google it. Somehow I have to know about it. So, this love affair with gardening and plants always puts me in the spirit of enjoying the things that yield bountiful results that come with TLC ( tender, loving , care) starting from the seeding to the luscious growth. This was the case, when K ( yes! he is a mirror of me when it comes to Nature and Gardening!, Lucky me! ) and I planted a small rose bush weeks ago. Every morning when K leaves for work, I would pause and enjoy the lush greenery around me (since the weather is kind of OK here for now to allow the greenery to thrive!) and to take a sneak peek at this newly planted “baby” in particular. Initially, my pangs of pessimism hit me, when it started to show signs of leaf rot and what-not, but it was always bordered by K’s optimism that one fine morning, perfect day as it was, my eyes fell on a bud. K’s response was, “I told you so!” My joy knew no bounds when I saw that. I was grinning from ear to ear and K was enjoying that! Now came the waiting part again. The patience eventually paid off, this time when another fine morning; another perfect day; dawned on a beautiful burgundy rose, standing there as an epitome of perfection and pride. I squealed in delight and the feeling this time was ecstatic. There I was enjoying that burgundied beauty to the fullest and capturing it in all angles on camera for you all to enjoy too.

P.S: I have planted several others too; but this was the only one that yielded visible results for now. I will photograph them now and then, and post them here to keep you updated on my garden. Ciao for now!
