WOW, this is so beautiful Carolyn. I've never seen or heard or read about this flower before.. I like the velvet background with the eggplant color vignette surrounding this Rose! LF
Carolyn Derstine replied:
These plants aren't real well known but can be found in nurseries more frequently now than they used to be. I find them appealing, especially because they bloom really early in the spring. Thanks for commenting and L/F this image, Kym!
