Rock Rose, June 2022 |
I was on a short hike just outside of Pagosa Springs, Colorado some years ago and rock roses grew wild along the trail. Their bright pink stood out against a background of greens and browns. Back home, I strolled through a local garden center and came upon a very dry and wilted rock rose at the end of the summer and brought it home where it has been happy on the back porch. I love when it blooms and I'm reminded of my time in beautiful Colorado. Many of the plants in my garden remind me of people and places I hold close to my heart.
