When folk give me cut roses as a gift I often hang them upside down to dry once the vase life is over, and I've several bunches over 6 years old!

Excellent shot Richard. By the look of the stem, it looks alive still. I wonder if it is possible to encourage it to grow again, but I have no green fingers I'm afraid. Steve :o)

Excellent detail Richard! A beautiful rose that wasn't meant to be :-(
great image and awesome shot!!!
What awesome textures on the petals! It probably is freeze dried--I'd snip it off in March once things warm up to encorage new buds. But for now it looks very cool!
Have to little see its torments which have it to burn the time of temperature which returned it (recroqueviller) on it to be even protected from its hopes to revive one day. You know this bulb of flower must represent a very strong person bus it remains upright without stumbling to show any respect of the life Bravo,nothing was the reading time my friend for the appreciation of your bulb which emble to (engourdir) and take the way of a return in a New odorous plant. Mile mercies of this passion which directs you towards such frolicking towards this Nature which can return your victories to you ((5++))............................................((Ont peu voir ses tourments qui l'ont brûler, le temps de température qui l'as rendu recroqueviller sur elle même pour se protéger de ses espoirs de revivre un jour . Tu sais cette bulbe de fleur doit représenter une personne très forte car elle reste debout sans broncher pour démontrer tout respect de la vie .Bravo ,Ne fusse le temps de lecture mon ami pour l'appréciation de ton bulbe qui s'emble s'engourdir et prendre le chemin d'un retour en une Nouvelle plante odorante . Mile mercis de cette passion qui te dirige vers de tels ébats envers cette Nature qui sait te rendre tes victoires ((5++))
