W3 – Roses

dried red rose

Roses. My fave flowers always. I enjoy each phase of them, since the tiny blossoms to the later stage when the petals start to fall off. I dry the ones that are really special to me. I’ve been doing it for many years. This one above is a Valentine’s Day gift from around 10 years ago. It has dried beautifully, I realized that the red and yellow ones are perfect for the drying process.

This week W3 prompt is about our favourite flower and spring. I opted for a butterfly cinquain to express my feelings for the roses. Nothing as flowers and butterflies to represent spring. 

roses
the young blossoms 
mature to perfection 
the bright colours and soft perfume 
senses
awakening with radiance
luxurious petals
breezy or dry
passion

        I keep them in a vase with water for a few days, later on I remove the water, the leaves and thorns and let them dry. Some people turn them upside down so the flowers stay straight but I like to let them do as they please, some turn down and it’s ok.
