I go with Emma! Thanks for sharing these beauties!
Yes - I agree reader wil - I always think diamonds are vastly over-rated - they are so hard and cold looking - roses - give me a bunch of them any day.
i'll be joining in a few, ms. will! thank you for the roses! please go see my latest post - i gave you the Cupcake award!
Quelles merveilles !
Je suis d'accord avec cette citation!
Que dites-vous de celle-ci(une fois traduite):
"Quand le dernier arbre aura été abattu,quand la dernière rivière aura été empoisonnée...quand le dernier poisson aura été pêché...alors on saura que l'argent ne se mange pas"
Geronimo, dernier chef Apache, 1829-1909
Yes give me flowers any day too!
Emma Goldman might not be too pleased with my mum. Mum used to put rose petals in the fillings of her pork buns.
My husband mistook camelia with roses. He was very happy to announce the rose bush from the neighbour but comes over our side of the fence has bloomed. I knew it was too early here, and he went and plucked it for me.
I like the quote and your lovely Begonias Wil.
You can never have too many Roses!
xoxo and a great big hug!!
Love Emma's quote and will probably incorporate it into my conversations when people go on about how geat diamonds are.
Beautiful shots but then you never disappoint.
Can't I just look at and smell the flowers while wearing a diamond ring on my finger? lol
I agree -- the real beauty in this world is all around us.
Great post :) Sue

Wil: What beautiful color in your flowers today.
Well Reader Wil..I'd have to say I would rather have both..OK so I'm selfish...no no I really am NOT!!
Diamonds are a girls best friend..as Mariyln taught us boomers...and roses..well I can't live without having my share of roses in the garden!

Red roses - and perhaps a diamond - make a happy girl! :)
Diamonds may sparkle but roses smell divine!! Beautiful flowers Reader Wil- thankyou for sharing them.
illustrious begonias with a flair
I love the flower in the second photo with the hot-pink-edged petals. The buring red ones are gorgeous, too. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful quote and I agree with Emma Goldman! Roses or begonias... or many other flowers.
I would almost agree. I would rather have roses in my garden than diamonds around neck. .....I think.
The colors are so brilliant!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing your photos. I like (and agree with) the quote, too.
Prachtige beelden van prachtige bloemen.
Fijne maandag.

Very nice flower photos, Wil.
What splendid colors begonias are!
So vibrant and amazing!
Yes, I'm not the least interested in jewellry
but am very greedy for flowers!
Heeft hier al een paar keer geregend, maar dat werd meer dan tijd voor al de planten.
Fijne dinsdag
Wow, beautiful flowers. Wasn't Emma Goldman the American communist, who ended up in Moscow very unhappily? If I recall correctly, Maureen Stapleton played her in Warren Beatty's movie "Reds".
Simply Gorgeous~!! Love your pictures of flowers...Lovely..
Bright, cheery colours on the Begonias. A nice end to my day.
