Happy #RoseWednesday R. 'For Your Eyes Only' flowers almost continuously in summer with ever changing bloom colours. This is probably my favourite tone. Also a previous Rose of the Year winner. @rosesuk.bsky.social #Garden #Flowers #Roses #Gardening. 🌱

Beautiful in the morning light. Happy #RoseWednesday 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling

🌱 #roseWednesday One of the roses growing in Wisley’s Hilltop Wellbeing Garden, Rosa ‘Reine des Violettes’. The Wisley team are doing an excellent job job of keeping everything alive and looking good but it’s tough! It takes me 3/4 of an hour and 1000 steps to water special plants with a can!

Second flush flowers for #RoseWednesday All hybrid musk #roses bred by Pemberton or Bentall. Cornelia, looking her palest. Francesca, the prettiest flowers, sadly they don’t last very long. Autumn Delight, lemon buds paling to white so quickly. Buff Beauty, the tiniest flower, but a welcome sight. 🌱

Love the color. Good Wednesday to you too!

🌱 Happy #RoseWednesday Bathsheba

Gaze into my sunflower. You are getting sleepy. Very sleepy

I've misplaced the tag for this rose, but it's a lovely bloom, so I thought I'd share. I snapped this photo yesterday evening. 🌱🌿🍃 #RoseWednesday #Roses #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #Garden #mygarden #PhotographersofBluesky #Photography

It's a glorious morning here.🌱

Bearded reedling 15cm They live in temperate regions of Europe and Asia, their diet shifts from insects in the summer to reed seeds in the winter. Males have a blue-grey head with a striking black "moustache" and bright orange-brown body. Females are a simpler buff-brown without moustache.

A hard situation deep into the Thai Jungle today after we got a tip off. Nobody lives here. Managed to get the first boy saved (more soon we hope) and medical care. I've never seen a dog go from scared to happy to be rescued so quick
