The only roses I remember encountering as a child was a prickery rose bush near my grandparent’s house in Vermont. It did not hold much interest for me except that I thought it might be a place visited by fairies. Occasionally, I would leave a tiny gift, but I never did see any fairies. Even so, I did not lose my belief that there are magical creatures in the world.

The grounds of Iowa State University offer several places to catch some natural beauty this spring as the weather warms and dormant plants start to bloom again.
Reiman Gardens
What to see: 50,000 tulips and much more
A logical place to start to look for flowers on ISU s campus is Reiman Gardens home to aromatic herbs, Dr. Griffith Buck roses, a towering palm tree, native prairie species, and so much more, according to the Gardens website.
Reiman Gardens is going to host extended weekend hours later this month and into May for the public to see its 50,000 tulips at their prime, said Maria Teply, communications coordinator for the Gardens.
