Julia Child Floribunda RoseWe made it to Maui and it was a sunny 85 degrees here when we finally landed. Karen got upgraded but I didn’t so I ended spending the 8.5 hour flight crammed in coach. For those that don’t know I am six foot six inches tall and of course there was another large person next to me. A bit of hell before paradise :lol:
These rose shots were taken at the NYBG Rose Garden last weekend. I will be prowling about for some Hawaiian flowers today and possibly some landscape photos.

Well I guess Aloha is the word of the day.
Love the Julia Child rose, looks like an egg nestled in the center. Also like the Rainbow Knockout. Have a grand time!!
