I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.'
Fay, it's on the ribbon above the posting box. When you select the quote function, it condenses the text to the middle and adds the giant quotation marks. Isn't it great?
That is so funny, LMAO!! She certainly had a sense of humor.
I have 3 roses. "Peace" rose, a hybrid tea which is one of the most famous and popular roses grown. We had one in our yard where we lived when we first got married, someone had planted it many decades before, it made the whole back yard (tiny, I admit!) smell good. Then I have a Rosa glauca, it has gorgeous canes, amazing bluish-green leaves and pretty little pink blossoms. Lastly, I have one called Louis XIV (I almost typed "lewy", lol!). It is prone to mildew, the bugs love it but it also has the most fantastic red/black blossoms that are as sweet as the day is long.
LOL! How lovely lady red.
ReplyDeleteDesigning our own threads is going to be SERIOUSLY fun!
ReplyDeleteNice post Lady Red. It is fun.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the giant opening quotation mark?

ReplyDeleteHmm, I tried that but it didn't show up like yours when I previewed it. I'll go back and try again.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you're on the "compose" tab and not on the "edit html" tab.
ReplyDeleteIf they named a rose after me, the description would probably mention "large and excessive thorns." It would be crossed with a Venus Flytrap, too.

I can't wait for spring...
heh, that quotation mark IS pretty ginormous, lady red :-)
ReplyDeleteafw, you are too funny! I'm so glad you're here.
ReplyDeleteI dunno what Elanor's problem was... fine against a wall sounds kinda ... hot... but that's just me...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, lewy. Hot and Eleanor Roosevelt sound kind of mutually exclusive...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't swing that way, but if I did I don't think that my "type" would be Eleanor Roosevelt.
ReplyDeleteUnless Eleanor Roosevelt started looking like Shakira.
