GM ๐ŸŒž The name โ€œGarden Variety Jessโ€ stems from when I spent seven years as a florist.

I learned there are three main types of roses used in floral design: standard variety roses, spray roses, and garden variety roses.

Standard variety roses are the formal roses we all know, with their petals tightly wound around their center. But garden variety roses spiral out toward the sun, opening their heart-centers to welcome pollinators.

May we all spiral open our hearts toward the sun today and every day.

Interesting, I didn't know any of that. Funny how "garden variety" has come to mean standard/everyday in the non-florist lexicon.

Yes it has turned into meaning something more like โ€œordinaryโ€ which is part of what made me laugh when I found out how extraordinary garden roses are ๐Ÿ˜Š

I prefer 100% spiral opening flowers...the universal law is all about spirals ๐Ÿ’œ

Cool ๐Ÿ˜Š
