Hello dear Snap, Thanks for these lovely images! They are bringing colors and lights to our day here! Have a nice Sunday,hugs... Léia Luna is sending purrs and lights!
I love how the sun is highlighting both the roses and the amaryllis. I can almost smell the former and love the gorgeous blast of colour with the latter! Beats a cup of coffee in the morning; thanks for your participation in Sunlit Sunday, Snap! -Karen
These really are the most beautiful blooms. I never think about buying cut flowers...it's a good thing we have some that bloom year round! Happy Sunday!
B e a u t i f u l flowers! The Bill Warriner rose is beautiful and the light cast on it was perfectly captured! The Minerva Amaryllis is a beautiful color! Good photography!
Oh my to open up your post and feel joy just looking at your beautiful photos! Great quotes, I love all of them. Beautfiul post! Happy Day Blessings.......
I am missing green outside ! Luckily I have a bounty of indoor plants. My African violets and my Crown of Thrones are full of blooms. Delightful color here, Snap ! Happy Monday !
Those are some of the most beautiful roses ever! Each one is lovely and in the mosaic combination even more so. Wonderful. And the comment above is right -- I can almost smell the heavenly rose perfume.

And that Bill Warriner rose is my idea of floral perfection. Wish I had one!

Early last week it was rainy, dark, dreary and finally the sun appeared
bringing the first morning that the city saw a freeze.
I dashed out the door in the early morning to feed the birds
and caught the sun spotlighting the Bill Warriner roses.

Inside the house, the sun was shining on the Minerva Amaryllis.

I'm joining Sunlit Sunday and Mosaic Monday.
A big thank you to our hosts.
