A Special Rose, Unwanted, Left To Die........

I still remember the day that the daughter of our neighbor next door pulled into their driveway and unloaded a miniature rose plant growing in a small container. She told me that her new boyfriend's parents worked at a plant nursery and had given her the plant, that she had just accepted it in order to make favorable points with her new boyfriend.

About a month later, while visiting with her, I asked her about the rose plant, and she told me that it had died. It was in the garage waiting to be thrown in the trash. I asked to see it, and thinking it might still be alive, asked her if I could have it. She gladly gave it to me.

I planted it in a five gallon paint bucket, placed it on our back patio deck, and over time nursed it back to good health. It is now a beautiful rose plant, and will always be a special plant for me.

Picture was taken with my Sony NEX-6 camera using a vintage Minolta MD Macro 50mm F3.5 lens at the following settings: f7.1, 1/60, ISO 400, manual focus, Daylight white balance, Manual Mode, and I used a tripod. Tejaswrangler :)

It does take longer for a young mind to mature as fast as the body does, her actions were not ill intended, just young. Someday when you show her the plant again, she'll have a different reaction.
And probably already has a different boyfriend.
That's a very good picture.

Hopefully the new boyfriend discarded her as fast as she did their rose.
