Formerly the Lj’er known as beccak1961

As usual, spring is in the air and the siren call of the local nurseries beckon me, I’m helpless to resist. (anyone else always think “resistance is futile” when they read or hear the word resist?) We won’t even talk mail order or email catalogs! They are relentless and endlessly tempting!

I bought a George burns rose, 4 pics behind the cut- because it is interesting in it’s different stages.
