The Rose

Sometimes, and this sometimes is more and more often lately, I reach a kind of saturation. Saturation and fatigue. I think maybe the stifling heat of this summer is to blame. It is more and more difficult for me to write, daily or, anyway, 4-5 posts per week. I've been doing this for over 4 years. I feel that I have exhausted all the topics, I have come to repeat myself, I have written about certain places that are dear to me dozens of times. Saturation also comes with a lack of inspiration.

Fortunately, there is a way out of such a situation. Is there anything that helps ...

Challenges, contests, and communities!

That is, you receive a theme and an impulse to write. In the moments of lack of inspiration or, on the contrary, when you have too many ideas and you don't know which one to choose, you will surely find a challenge, a contest, or a community to inspire you. Especially communities, groups that bring together those with the same interests and passions. Hive communities are like the petals of a flower. Because I said petals, today I joined the Petals community!

Like many of you, I am passionate about photography and love flowers. If I had some poetic sensitivity I would be maximum for this community. Since I don't, I hope to be a good member.

I really liked the description of the Petals community:

This community was made so that all flower lovers can keep the posts of their added flowers in their one place and be able to enjoy them without searching so much.

I really like the possibility to have all my flowers in one place. I will try to have rigor, and logic in my collection of flowers.

This being my first post in this community, I will start with the king of flowers ...

The Rose Nr.1!

I live in a big city and I have a small yard. I wish it was the other way around! That is not possible and then I have to deal with the small yard in front of the house. However, I am lucky not to live in a block of flats, I live on the outskirts of the city, which is full of greenery and relatively small houses. Courtyard houses. I also have a small yard ...

Because the yard is small and because my family loves plants and trees, I crowded as much as I could in both ways. This is not exactly good for plants, once they grow in each other and do not grow properly and, because there are trees, they provide shade, very good for me but sometimes not very liked by the small flowers wanting to sun.

I have several rose bushes and I will try to bring them all here. Today I start with a small bush of dark red roses, almost black.

I have several rose bushes and I will try to bring them all here. Today I start with a small bush of dark red roses, almost black. I don't know their names. I will try to find out by searching the internet. I really like the names of the roses. There are many varieties of roses, they are obtained by horticulturists and they also give them their names. Names of great personalities from universal art and literature, names of famous actors, characters from history lend their names to roses.

I found something with the help of Google, it would seem that these roses of mine are called "Souvenir du Docteur Jamain", but there are so many similar ones that I can't be sure. I stick to this name because I find it quite exotic and I like it.

The flowers are more beautiful after the rain. Water invigorates them, accentuates colors and scents.

The bush is small, the flowers are also small but there are many. It blooms in real bouquets. It is a beautiful and productive rose, it has flowers almost all summer.

Souvenir du Docteur Jamain is a good, decorative, fragrant rose. I bought it from the market, that's why I didn't know his name. The small flower growers who sell their seedlings and flowers in the market are not very interested in the official names of their flowers. I wasn't interested either, it was enough that I liked it.

This was the first flower I entered the community with. I hope I did well, I am waiting for the readers' impressions. Thank you!
