I am still posting photos of roses. Today the colors is red.
The myth behind red roses??
The story paints a heartbreaking picture: when Aphrodite learned that someone was conspiring to hurt her beloved Adonis, she rushed through a rose bush to warn him, tragically cutting her ankles on the thorns. Her blood staining the white petals red is such a vivid symbol of her pain. Sadly, by the time she arrived, it was already too late—he had been taken from her by a wild boar. In that moment of despair, she was left to grieve, weeping as he took his last breaths in her arms, a profound loss that anyone can feel deeply.
