rose

I'm not that fond of thorny stuff.

Roses, in particular, seem to have it in for me. If they can reach out and stab me or scratch me, they will. (My thoughts on the deliberateness of these attacks were confirmed when I was breaking up a dead rose in the back yard -- its malevolence toward me seemed to have died with it -- I only got stabbed once in three sessions of dead-cane-disposal.......)

I do respectfully admire roses when someone else does the caretaking.

Gotta like these big crinkly petals. Click to see the bigger version and check out the stamens...............
