Re: Cephalaria gigantea

Hi Everyone.

I found a poem, that really struck me.  Have you guys ever heard this poem, or
quote:

Real Roses

There are manufactures roses -- long-stemmed
and perfect, thornless and free of both
scent and greenfly.

They are predestined to live their hour in
dressing rooms, in boudoirs.

They are extravagance made tangible
shielded by cellophane

They die before they open

Real roses tumble their petals onto
piano tops and carpets.

They have thorns and too many leaves
and smell of summer gardens.

They come with kisses.

-- Clair Ortega, b 1955

I just love that...I can't put my finger on why.  But, I just had to share it
with you....
