“Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.”
–St. Francis de Sales

This is a nice illustration of Laong-Laan Roses. “What the heck is a Laong-Laan rose,” you might ask?
Well, in the Dangwa-Dimasalang area of Manila, Philippines, Laong-Laan St. is at the end of the flower market area, where hundreds of small flower vendors sell blooms of all kinds.
There is a fascinating article at http://www.newsflash.org/2003/05/be/be002732.htm all about this historic district.
Enjoy the puzzle and the history lesson.
