The brilliant glow of light and colors through the wonderful leaves and the beautiful roses caught my eye while on a visit to the Tralee Rose Garden in Ireland. The rose name is “Mum in a Million”. If you look in the center of the open rose you’ll see the Chinese Calligraphy symbol for “blossoming” in the stamen area.
