Hope you all are having or had a good day.

Every time I think the Ketchup & Mustard roses are doomed they rally. Here's one taken 2 days ago...

Why haven't you taken cuttings and grown the roses in your garden?

Hey, Dave,  Peter has a good point.  You should do that, Dave.  Take a cutting.  No one will know and if they do, they probably don't care.
It looks like snow on those pretty rose petals.

I know that I am coming late to the party, but here are some pretty orchids from the Orchid show that our club went to last spring.
I picked these because they had both yellow and red colors in them. 

Have a good Evening.

Clint Eastwood said as Dirty Harry in the movie Magnum Force "A man's got to know his limitations."

My gardening abilities are average in growing some things in containers but any success I've had with planting in the ground has been limited to hardy flowers and succulents. My chances of success in cultivating higher-maintenance flowers like roses are pretty slim.

The cuttings grow easily enough. Though the plants may need care for all the diseases and pests that can attack them. Healthy plants in good soil rarely get attacked.

Nicely done photo of the orchids, Lorell.

The style (flowers emerging into light out of a soft and dark background) seems familiar to me.
