I do love the color Coral

Last Friday afternoon I went into our local Safeway to pick up some strawberries for Bob. Right there at the entrance was a huge display of roses. Most were regular colors but two bouquets were this stunning coral color. I just had to take them home!

What a pleasure to watch them open up and become even more beautiful!

You should try to dye some yarn that color! It's fantastic!

Wow, what beautiful flowers, Kelley! Isn't Portland called the Rose City? No wonder. Even I, who doesn't like anything in oranges or corals, love these blooms.

BTW, love the new Knitting Community page! Especially now that Xena has her own page, too.

Lovely colors.

Thank you for sharing them.

How beautiful and from a grocery store. I'm going to have to take a look see next time I'm shopping.

That's my favorite color of rose. Last year for my 21st birthday my friends got me that color of rose with medium pink carnations and that purple papery flower (statice?) Completely gorgeous budget bouquet.

One of my favs, too. Have 2 different varieties of rose with similar colors in my garden, cant' wait til they start blooming.

WOW, I do love coral too and those are some beauties...Thanks for sharing them with us

Wow! Just seeing those pictures lifts my spirits on a very dreary day!

Speaking of coral, I hope we'll be seeing a project in that gorgeous Papaya shade of Misty Alpaca in the near future! It doesn't work in my wardrobe, but I LOVE it!

Gorgeous! BTW, I just finished a sweater blouse for my daughter made with KnitPicks Shine Sport in Coral and it is almost the same color. Love it.

    Xena is my 8-year old Pomeranian. She is with me all the time with the exceptions of trips to countries with pet quarantines. So, I have lots of opportunities to take photos of her!
