Lovely! I have a weather gadget on the home page. You can see what the temp is at any time.<BR/>MrBrownThumb,<BR/>I assure you it's an optical illusion. I shot this as a close up and it pulls everything forward. The Agave is actually growing about a foot from the boulder.<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-20402913385748544042009-01-19T21:07:00.000-07:002009-01-19T21:07:00.000-07:00How cool, I'm glad I enlarged the pic.

Also love the different shapes. Take your eyes up, down and around. I love the yellow rose. A color I don't have anymore. :{ My 'Midas Touch' dies after several wonderful years.

I can definately see heaven in plants! I love the pic you took showing all the shades of green! Awesome! You are meticulously caring for your roses, just like all of your plants and trees! That was always one problem I always had with roses....not wanting to prune because they flower year round, and there never seemed a good time to do it because ! I wonder if you could do it just selectively on the canes that do not have blooms on them???
