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.

It may not have survived for long, but it was glorious while it lasted.

Your heavy rainstorms are coming our way. Wait for the buds, they will be prettier!

The best!

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...

I hope you spent the entire 24 hours staring at it. What a beauty.

But it looks great with all those water droplets on it, doesn't it?!

Debby said...

It is beautiful, Jennifer. Can you collect the petals for a potpourri?

Jennifer said...

Later in the summer I may try to do that! I'll check out YT videos for ideas...thanks for the suggestion!

Jennifer said...

Yes, even with my crap phone camera! :)

Jennifer said...

Too late on this one, but that's a good idea for the next flower that opens!

Jennifer said...

I hope you need the rain as much as we did!

All our Rose bushes are now in flower, and we have two vases filled with bought Roses. All beautiful.

Wow! She's really settling in well with you, isn't she. But then of course she has the best care :-)

Yes, it was!

And then gone!

Several more buds are about to open. I can't wait!

I love it.
