Hah!  Tim is mad as hell because I claimed my roses are fatter than his.  If he wants Blogging War of Roses, I'll gladly give it to him.  Just look at the size of his rose compared to the leaves.  Not even close, Tim.  Besides, your roses are funky looking.  Your pictures look much better than mine though, particularly that White Astilbe.  I got a tiny 3.2MP, you got a 5MP.  No competition there.  At least mine is cheap enough for me to look unconcerned convincingly when I lose it.

I can get same amount of details as you can by making my flowers bigger.  Just wait until next year when I'll have roses the size of watermelons or maybe even bigger, big enough for me to get a warning from my Nazi home owner association for endangering the safety of the community, big enough to be invited to David Letterman Show, big enough to squash me like a bug.  Oops.  Time for my medicine again.

Just in case, I instructed my son to hang up immediately if any ill-mannered skinny roses call.
