The Burning Rose IX

Ok firstly I will state no photo manipulation with this pic!

Just patience and fast working!!

Took a couple of roses from the garden and a couple of birthday cake candles the really little ones and cut them down - then it was a matter of balancing them in the center of the flowers and lighting them.
Working fast enough to take pictures and not have the petals burn before I was done. ( yes they were real roses) was quite fun and inspired by my earlier works with ice hearts and candles found here -
