a touch of color
white rose love
Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 11 November 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Today is a very special day for me. Three years ago today, Mike and I started dating. Even before that, I was in love with him for two years. His favorite flower is a white rose. So on this day, to start off a flower series paying a last tribute to the flowers that have died, I give him this rose.
