Image Flowers

Rose

 Aya's image flower. "Surely because of the beauty of their flowers, roses have been an integral part of the history of humans, both ancient and modern. Whether one harkens back to clashes between rival families in the War of the Roses or twentieth century roses such as Peace, spirited out of Paris in 1939, there are many tales to tell."
