It also makes me realize how little we need to be truly happy; and most of all that our happiness comes from simple pleasures.;))Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-69743774364931357192009-09-18T01:37:09.928+02:002009-09-18T01:37:09.928+02:00Such a beautiful respite from the daily grind.

I am so happy that you are sensitive enough to remind of of beauty that many, including myself, often miss with the stresses and concerns of daily living. This is always a great visit! :D)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-85549435839695504902009-09-17T10:01:11.886+02:002009-09-17T10:01:11.886+02:00=Valentine,

In fact, I might have some pictures that are just what you are looking for, I will see what I can do.:))<br />Always happy when you stop by.;))<br />xoxo<br /><br />=Keera,<br />so true, they are very red and large. No, I never pick them, I guess I should. I just do not know exactly how to use them, although I know they can be used to make tea and jam.;))<br />xo<br /><br />=stevie,<br />you are completely correct; they are very high in Vitamin C. I think they are a bit difficult to pick due to the thorns. But they are widely used to make jam and of course, tea.;))<br />xoxo<br /><br />=sujata,<br />you are so kind yes the picture to the right shows the fruit. I guess Rose Hips are very common to grow in a more temperate climate.;))<br />xo<br /><br />=Tina,<br />yes indeed, they are abundant on beaches, all across the coast. I am amazed to see them grow there and thrive without any care. Their scent is so strong and lovely I love to walk along the beach in June when they start to flower.<br />Always glad when you stop by.;))<br />xo<br /><br />=Hilary,<br />it is strange that they bloom and bear fruit at the same time, I think it must have something to do with the fact that September is so much warmer in recent years. I see also other plants having flowers now, when they are suppose to bloom in June.<br />And hehe to your last sentence, I think my hips has done the same:;)) xoxo<br /><br />=Keith,<br />thank you so much, always happy when you stop by.;))<br /><br />=Barbro,<br />you are way too kind, thank you.;)) xoxo<br /><br />=gaelikaa,<br />thank you for that great compliment.;)) Yes, I love tags!;)) I will be right over! Sorry it took me a bit of time, but I will definitely play along.;))<br />Thank you for always finding the time to stop by.;)<br />xoxo<br /><br />=Jill,<br />thank you so much.;)) xoxo<br /><br />=Rosezilla,<br />that makes a lot of sense as there is almost nothing more Swedish than Rose Hips. The Swedes use it in cooking and baking.;))<br />xoxo<br /><br />=Claudia,<br />so very true; roses are thriving in a temperate climate. In fact, I think I saw very few wild Roses growing in North Carolina, which has hot and humid summers. Wild roses are so common here, people almost do not even take notice.;) But should we suddenly have a Palm Tree growing wild somewhere here, it would make the headlines on the news for days.;))<br />xoxo<br /><br />=Diane,<br />glad I could introduce something new to you, dear friend.;))<br />xoxo<br /><br />=MelRoXx,<br />thank you sweetie.;))<br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-24004750476934114542009-09-17T07:45:34.808+02:002009-09-17T07:45:34.808+02:00looks good:)looks good:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-587931252371870212009-09-17T04:39:32.110+02:002009-09-17T04:39:32.110+02:00I've always heard of rose hips, but I never ac...I've always heard of rose hips, but I never actually knew what they were... now I do! :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637670293642285740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-40350841558278576462009-09-16T22:08:49.720+02:002009-09-16T22:08:49.720+02:00Beach roses? what an interesting concept! :-o I s...Beach roses? what an interesting concept! :-o I suppose I am used to only have the "exotic" type in hot and humid weather, such as that one of Guatemala. Two rose shrubs are in my back patio, and I have to care after them so that they grow nicely and without much trouble. Not an easy flower to grow in Guatemala!Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803540562431030465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-3947472277186557592009-09-16T18:54:13.713+02:002009-09-16T18:54:13.713+02:00I found an old Swedish cookbook once and it had re...I found an old Swedish cookbook once and it had recipes using roses and rose hips.

Here, I'm seeing rose bushes which bloomed through the warmer days of summer now producing the hips. They're quite apparent as other vegetation begins to wither and dull down. Sadly, much like the rose bushes, after a summer of good eating, my hips are growing too. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-76964436357134589292009-09-16T13:56:08.833+02:002009-09-16T13:56:08.833+02:00Isn't the smell of these roses one of the best...Isn't the smell of these roses one of the best scents in the whole world? <br />I am glad your neighborhood's planted roses have fought through the wild plants(thistles can be tough!) and have survived. And I like how a compromise was reached where the new path was decided to be made in such a way that it was pleasing still to the homeowners in the immediate area.<br /> We have these roses around everywhere, too--usually we call them "beach roses", and the blooms are gone now, replaced by the fruit/hips.Gal Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643821953484820115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-45132787211036620892009-09-16T13:46:53.913+02:002009-09-16T13:46:53.913+02:00I have never heard of this flower, looks so good, ...I have never heard of this flower, looks so good, and you say that the plant bears fruits as well that can be eaten..wow!
