Fallen Roses

On our neighborhood walks, I’ve noticed neglected rosebushes with blossoms fallen onto the ground. Bob and I trim those before they are ruined and spread their grace along our path to the Hatha Yoga Center. Yesterday’s haul included sprays of orange roses now standing tall in a vase, a couple yellow beauties in a bud vase and several white blossoms floating in a bowl. 

This wild Irish Rose appreciates these gifts from our neighbors who never tend the bushes in their commercial parking lot. They’ve got other concerns than deadheading the rose bushes. The remaining blooms receive all the life essence without the fallen roses continuing to draw life from roots and limbs.

What do you notice on your neighborhood walks? Is there some part of nature that you can assist? Ki ti Happiness stops to the smell the roses and sometimes deadheads those that have fallen in neglect, giving new life to them as they grace our space.
