This is the same rose we posted a couple of days ago. This morning we noticed pinkish spots on the petals. Can anybody chime in and help us identify what’s going on with this rose?

Same flowers two and four days later
The amazing progress of flowers as they grow and bloom
More blooms to come
More buds showing in background
Two and four days ago we posted photos of one of our Asiatic Lilies and a rose bud just beginning to bloom. Today both plants displayed some great progress in the blooming arts, adding even more color to our backyard flower and herb garden.
Another rose in the backyard garden
Rainy day but a pretty rose.
Asiatic lilies in bloom mode
Our Asiatic Lilies are starting to bloom. These are from bulbs we transplanted to our backyard flower and herb garden.
Asiatic lilies getting ready to bloom
These were transplanted from our front flower beds to our herb and flower garden in the back. They have done well, and are preparing to bloom. Note the sage behind the lilies.
Yes its name is Question Mark
This unique butterfly was spotted in our screen room tent right outside of the back door. This butterfly is interesting as it will winter over by hiding in protected spaces. It lives on tree sap, rotting fruit and animal droppings. It only drinks nectar as a last resort. We’ve never seen one before.
Pretty phlox picture
Couldn’t resist the alliteration. These phlox are pretty, regardless.
Spring ready to be sprung
We’ve been having some warmer days, and that coupled with the calendar has resulted in some of the bulb sprouts making their appearance in our flower and herb garden.
Won’t be long until the blooms will be out in all their beauty. It’s about time to be over this winter thing and move on to a better year.
A surprise reptilian visitor
We were planting some new bulbs today in our herb/flower garden. We also moved some Asiatic lily bulbs from the front of the house to the back yard as well. When I looked into a bucket we used to move the lily bulbs I noticed this colorful little guy. He is a Five Lined Skink. He is about 5 inches long, and he has lost a part of his tail. We’ve never seen one around before. He’s now making a new home in our bulb/herb/flower garden.
Yellow rose and blue petunia
Both of these flowers are in our herb and flower garden that we planted during our COVID-10 isolation. The yellow rose, pictured in yesterday’s post, has opened up and, as promised, is shining. We wanted to also share an image of this blue petunia.
