“Disheveled Beauty”
I was going to use the words ‘disheveled beauty’ to describe this yellow rose. Beautiful with the askew petals, the lack of symmetry, the unkempt look. As I looked for a quote or grasped at constructing my own, I came across Radiating Blossom. She had already used ‘disheveled beauty’ several years ago for a beautiful flower. Well, I hope it is alright to use it again for this beautiful yellow rose. Please, if you don’t already, visit Radiating Blossom for gorgeous images of flowers and inspiring words.
In the meantime, here is a ‘disheveled beauty’, in my garden, enjoying the morning light…….
