This is Olé. He sits next to Diana in the garden. No doubt they talk incessantly about European matters. Olé offers to pollinate Diana or to be pollinated by Diana, after all, it's a long blooming season, but she's pretty standoffish that way.

Diana, Princess of Wales.

<Rose that is. This is not a picture of Herself. But you knew that.>

<Not sure this new caption writer is going to work out.>

Crown of Thorns looking askance.

Traffic lights in a town where the traffic engineers are colorblind.

<Some of my best friends are color blind. They said they'd be posting poly-color vision jokes on their blogs. Please visit and hit like on their posts. Thank you.>

<Alternatively, could have made a joke how the traffic engineers only own one crayon.>

<Or that the city is not car friendly.>

<How'd you like it if we made comments about your senses?>

<Okay enough of the comments. We're very sorry at PBDJ Heavy Industries LLC. We fired the old caption writer. There's a new caption up top from the new caption writer. >

We've had complaints about the number of Calibrachoa pictures, especially orange Calibrachoa pictures. The orange posts will continue until the complaints stop or until I get another color.

Ahem, tap tap. <feedback screech> The meeting will start shortly. Please grab a cup of coffee and get settled. <short pause>

Can you imagine a weekly Google all-hands meeting where they read out the birthdays for everyone at the start of the meeting?

I do love a good dandelion. And a good dandelion will love you forever, sort of like Charlotte's kids coming back for Wilbur each year.

My iron geraniums oxidized and turned red. Sprayed them with rust-off, and my hair fell out, the car fender has a big hole in it, and all the geraniums pulled up roots and moved to the neighbor's yard.

Ran across this confection in a Portuguese bakery, absolutely delightful. Ate the whole thing in one sitting. Went back for more, and all they had left was a bombe made from concentrated yellowcake powder.

Yellow orchid is uninterested in yet more gifts of flores amarillas please. Also, for once, she'd appreciate some red roses instead of yellow ones. Thank you kindly, but enough is sufficient is plenty, and her garage is full of empty yellow flower vases.

White Orchid wants her own TV show. No fair that Lotus gets a show all to herself AND has her own car brand.

Hey, the operators are STILL waiting, so we're extending rose week for one more day. Here's day 8 of Rose Week, and honestly, we really need the money 'cause Red Rose stole all of our dough.

And finally, the end we've all been waiting for, especially me who's gots to write these silly things, DAY Se7en of Rose Week, and we finish off with a fantastic Finnish rose from Finlandia. Or so Red Rose told me when she sold me the thing.

Send Money Now! Yes, we'd love to have your money! Whether you need it or don't, we will put it to better use than you will. Here's day 6 of Rose Week, featuring Red Rose, who will do almost anything to part you from your money like Jesus and the Red Sea.

I took most of the summer off so there was a gap this year, and all the top 10 are from early in the year. 

Thank you everyone for visiting and supporting me, and Happy New Year. 

A little Rose Hips Tea for you today on DAY FIVE of Rose Week. Seriously, does it look like roses have hips? Give me a break.

Here is Pink Rose, fresh from her Lawyer Battle Game between UPO and OPU in the PBDJ Heavy Industries LLC Basketball Court under the judgeship of Harry Peid Hartily. She's a little worn around the edges as maybe you can see, but it is DAY FLOR of Rose Week and we're all a bit on edge.
