Earth laughs in flowers 
Wow! It is beautiful!
Pretty, Jude. It’s so hard to take pictures of red flowers. 🙂
True. These did come out better than most.
You can’t go wring with a Japonica and you’ve captured the colour perfectly too!
Saw a lovely white one yesterday alongside this deep red one. Looked stunning.
I didn’t even know they came in white, but i vaguely recollect a very soft pale pink!
I have seen orange and a salmon pink one.
I love these in simple arrangements for their wonderful Asian quality. Someone told me they are related to roses botanically….no idea, but they sure do have the thorns.
That’s interesting. I shall have to investigate 🙂
