Artist Reply: Thanks Susan, I love the yellows as well. I always think of the song, "Yellow Rose From Texas" and think of the John Wayne movie he did.

Artist Reply: Thank you Blue Doll! These always make me think of ballerina flower dancers.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Anne!

Artist Reply: Thank you Michael! Someday, I might grow some orchids. If I do, I know you're the man to ask on how to take care of them. Roses, are easy to tend to.

Artist Reply: Thank you Jerry! I so need to get around to making some quitls. Lots of my designs often could work as a quit.

Artist Reply: Thank you Loredana! I'll be off to visit rose gardens in a week. There's some local rose gardens to go to. I will also try to stop and get some photos of the local rose growing farms. The roses are all in bloom right now. It's amazing to see acres of roses of all colors.

Artist Reply: Thank you Bianca! This rose was such a beauty I loved the warmth and glow of the petals.

Artist Reply: Thank you Emily! I look forward to make more flower designs soon.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much! The flower had the right look and open petals to do this one well. I love how the color was so bright and needed no lights or adjusting the color brightness.

Artist Reply: Thank you Cynthia. This shaped rose worked so well!! I find the more closed up rose harder to get a good design from. This one was such a frangrant rose, I had to pick it to take into my house. I am so going to plant a huge rose garden when I move. Already working on a list of which ones I want to get. I can't bring any of my plants from Arizona into California, they don't allow it in due to risk of insect and disease getting into the farms and forests. I'll be starting a garden from scratch. Gardening brings me such a joy and I get lost even if I'm just weeding it.
