Paper like petals!!!

This rose ( along with others ) has been in my vase for over a week. I am so pleased as they were buds when I had them, and mostly roses in buds from shops don't open ,heads droop and die! This rose is far from dying ,infact it is surviving with so little attention! So many people seem to be surviving even tho' their journey has been long and dangerous, they too have had little attention but are managing their survival.
The answer to this great problem is too difficult for the whole of the world to solve, prayers for each and everyone of these people and that guidance will be given to the leaders of the nations.

Happy to be able to get up each day with food and water at hand.
Good luck to all who are running in the Great North run.
