Hey, I said no more pictures of flowers from my mom’s garden. I never said, when I drove all the way from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area to visit her that I wouldn’t take a side trip to the world famous Berkeley Botanical Rode Gardens.

Also, the ‘dew’ is totally fake. I brought along my little spray-mister bottle.

And the roses are real, grown by rose breeders all over the world.

So they are rare roses, unseen by many people.

But now you see them too, you lucky duck!

That one hardly even looks like a rose, but it does have a little green ladybug type visitor.

Oh, Mother Nature, you rock!

You do like your colors.

I like them too.

I just like to moisten them a little, for the photographic effect.

Hello, bee.

And another of those little bugs. I did not spray the insects, just so you know. No living things were moistened in the making of this post.
