The New Kid or Veni, Vedi, Visa


Rosa floribunda - Julia Child.

Yesterday's acquisition. Not red, but a startlingly good golden yellow. Beautifully convoluted flowers. What clinched the deal, though, was the strong mystery fragrance. Couldn't quite make it out - rose and something else. Checked again this afternoon and the answer is: rose with a licorice subnote.

convoluted
interesting word
almost looks like a double hyacinth
very pretty

(what's the significance of the hhandicap symbol at the word verification space?)
