Fleeting



My first "Eustacia Vye" bloom lasted a mere 24 hours, and then a heavy rainstorm shattered it. It was glorious for that one day, though. 

There are several more buds on the verge of opening, so there's more beauty to come.

  6. So pretty! Can you snip one to bring into your home and dry as a keepsake? I see there are several videos describing how to do this...
