Dried Flowers

It is winter here, most flowers are not in bloom so this photo is timely in that it deals with dried flowers. I've focused my images lately on the outdoor weather and plants so it was time for a shift of perspective. I love flowers, not that I have a favorite but I do enjoy roses because they are so easy to dry and keep around. I have rose bushes in my garden and I keep the dried rose petals if not the entire rose off the bushes. These are just a few of the various dried roses I have dried. You can see how well they hold their shape and you can see each of the petals on the open buds.
