Hello #Rose people! A mystery rose just bloomed in our garden. Based on old purchasing records, I believe it’s either Baronne de Prevost or Marchioness of Lorne. I’d love to identify it properly. Any thoughts? Thank you! #roses #gardening #flowers #bloomscrolling

Did you know that bumblebees actually sleep in flowers for warmth? I learned this from @clairebobrow.bsky.social amazing book WHEN BUMBLEBEES GO TO SLEEP. Feel like this chonky bee is slipping into a Golden Poppy sleeping bag.

Here’s Bermuda’s Kathleen for #RoseWednesday —hands down our most popular rose with the bees. Bumblebees and honeybees can’t seem to get enough. The flowers start pale apricot, then go pale pink and finish dark pink, similar to Rosa mutabilis. #flowers #bloomscrolling #roses #nature #gardening

For #FlowerFriday, here are the 2 roses in our garden most-beloved by bees of all stripes: Bermuda’s Kathleen and Clytemnestra. A couple of oddballs perhaps, but they’re practically indestructible, very vigorous and healthy, and a total delight. #roses #gardening #bloomscrolling

I missed #RoseWednesday, so Friday will have to do! Here’s New Dawn, the first rose to receive a patent. It got off to a slow start in our garden (I could barely dig a hole, thanks to neighboring roots), but after a few years, it’s finally hitting its stride. #roses #gardening #flowers

‘Gentle Hermione’ rose for #RoseWednesday. It might have the most enticing fragrance of all our roses? The overall plant form is graceful and willowy, and the blossom color is a beautiful luminescent pink. Highly recommend this one! #roses #bloomscrolling #flowerreport

80 years ago today, in 1945, Harper & Row published THE CARROT SEED, by Ruth Krauss, illus. by her husband, Crockett Johnson, edited by the extraordinary #UrsulaNordstrom. A #PB, it was Ruth’s debut book. Ursula would edit and publish approximately 20 more of Ruth's books. #KidlitHistory #kidlit

I second this recommendation with all my heart. An outstanding book—for everyone!
