It is coming to that time of year when my favourite flowers are starting to fade and disappear for the winter. But even though the colour is starting to fade from them I think they still look very interesting!
I think even when they start to turn brown and crisp, roses still look rather beautiful! ………..Beautiful in a strange way!
There really isn’t much time left to enjoy perfect roses but I guess I can enjoy them as the colour fades from them. That is until the rain and wind comes and knocks the petals to the ground like a shower of confetti!
My Name is David Corscadden and I have just finished my degree in horticulture from UCD. I have a keen interest in wildlife friendly gardens or as I like to call them “Wild Gardens”. I have in the last year taken a u-turn in what I thought I would do after college. I have moved more in to the literature side of horticulture and plan to do a masters in journalism next year.
