roses...

...are red

well, some are

did you know the red rose - began its illustrious symbolic history - in greek and roman iconography? - in roman mythology the story is tied to aphrodite, or venus - the goddess of love - it’s said she was rushing to warn - her lover, adonis, about a murder plot - against him and in her haste - she ran through a thorn bush - cutting her ankles on the sharp thorns - everywhere her blood touched the bush - brilliant red roses began to bloom

a

happy day.....
