Excerpt from a poem by Isaac Watts, parodied by Lewis Caroll in "Alice in Wonderland."
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every shining flower!
How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labours hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.

On April 23 Saint George's Day, the patron saint of Catalonia, is celebrated as well as Book Day. Tradition dictates that the men buy a rose for the women and that the women buy a book for the men.
Legend has it that a dragon was destroying the surroundings of a village (Montblanc, in the Catalan adaptation) until its inhabitants decided to give it one person per day, chosen by a draw, to thereby prevent any further destruction. One day it was the turn of the King's daughter and when the dragon was about to devour her a knight appeared, Saint George, and killed the beast. A rose bush emerged from the monster's blood from which the knight picked a rose and gave it to the princess.
Saint George's Day is a civic festival throughout Catalonia, a day on which Catalan culture and identity are vindicated. In city streets publishers and bookshops set up book stalls mixed with rose sellers and many writers offer to sign their works.
No color enhancement. This is the actual color of this flower. I am always amazed at what nature gives us.
The five stamens seemed surprised and wanted to climb toward a soft green light. Another example a dying bloom's beauty.
