My two Camellia japonicas blooming has reminded me of a fairy tale,
Snow White and Rose Red (Schneettweichen und Rosenrot).
My sister and I had some relation to this story.
She was a redhead and I a blond.
That is where the link ends…I hope.
As with most fairy tales,
the good little girls turn the monster (bear) into a prince and marry him and his brother.
Mothers, let’s rewrite these PLEASE.
Leave in the good and kind,
but change the reward to a self-fulfilling ending instead of a wedding.
(No offense Princes.)

Beautiful blooms and I agree, many fairytales could use a rewrite!

There is actually a novel based on the fairy tale — The Mostly Forgotten Memoirs of Rose Red by M. Marinan. It’s kind of a lighthearted romp, as I recall.

Oh yes, I totally agree. It’s always so sad that a wedding is supposed to be considered the great big end-all.
