  1. Spectacular! The dew on the soft white petals giving the allure and intrigue, as it is in direct contrast to the thorns hiding underneath. Thank you Tom Soulsby for making this happen this year and for your time yesterday.

  2. Another great post, thanks for the write up! Have a great day and cant wait to see future posts
