Lovely roses gifted to me by my old friend, Joyce. I have no idea of the name or variety, but they grant us with lovely-ness with each tiny bloom!
But I wonder sometimes.... What actually happens to the petals as the beauty of the roses fade away?
In this case, some fall onto the leaf of a Lucky Bamboo that is her neighbor...
Some get eaten by this little fellow, who seems to have quite the voracious appetite - as many of my plant leaves have holes in them this year....
Like this geranium. If the petal fell just a tad bit over, it would have fallen through the hole in the leaf!!!
Most simply fall to the ground where they compost and add to the richness of the soil - adding nutrients and goodness feeding the next batch of plants that grow there....
But some end up on a very different journey - and get carried away!
