Roses...









 I used to see roses from Ecuador, Columbia and the U.S.A.
These roses are from Kenya.
I am probably the only one who didn't know that the biggest producer of roses in the world is Kenya.
 This is another illustration of the term 'global economy', isn't it?

  3. Beautiful roses.
    I was aware of Kenya being the biggest producers. There is a move here in the UK for people to stop buying these flowers due to the air-miles and carbon footprint they have. The eco-warriors are keen for us to buy home grown flowers when in season which I tend to approve of but there is the other side of the coin that if we stop buying the flowers from Kenya they loose their job abd are poor enough already - bit of a dilemma

    1. Patientgardener, I thought about this dilemma, too! My husband gave this bouquet to me on the 8th of March (Int'l Women's Day). He ordered it on-line, and didn't know anything about its origin. We both were surprised. Europe is much closer to Kenya than the U.S.....

  5. Those roses are just gorgeous. So many different shades! I didn't know about Kenya being the biggest exporter of roses. I rarely buy cut roses.

  6. I had no idea roses would be shipped all the way from Kenya! They look so healthy and beautiful. I was eating fresh shrimp the other day when Lou informed me they came from Vietnam. I was thinking they came from our own coast. The global economy and methods of produce transport are amazing.

  9. I also didn't have the idea that Kenya grows that much roses. And they are so beautiful, fresh, crisp and elegant, most especially because your photos captured them perfectly. Thanks Tatyana.
