The Rose Family

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But now the theory goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose
But were always a rose.

Blue Marguerite Daisy

This shade of blue is very unusual to find in a flower and it makes quite an impact in the garden. The yellow centers provide a great contrast to the blue. I have four of these in my front yard right by the driveway. It blooms year round here in Southern California.
