Tonight I went to take a big sniff of a Mr Lincoln rose that John had cut and brought into the kitchen in a nice vase. Well....just as my nose was about to lay on the petals, I realized, I had company!

pretty rose, not so sure about the company.

What a neat looking spider.

I actually came across a really bizare looking spider yesturday. Didnt occur to me to take a picture, but I have never seen anything like it. I'm not afraid of them, but am always worried that they bare poiseness. I had a bad spider bite once and it was no good.

Did you take him back outside?

An albino sider!!! Never seen anything like it. Your rose is gorgeous but.....

I agree...beautiful rose, but I would have ditched the house guest.

I wonder what kind of spider that is...

We left her on the rose all night. I think she must have been there for days. I think John cut that Sunday afternoon. The rose is in a vase with butterfly bush clippings. The spider made a web. The rose is dead now so I will take my spider named Blanca and put her outside! We get really big spiders here. As long as they are in a place where I can see them Im ok. But she bites! You can see her fangs. SO I cant leave her in here without a flower to live in. Ive been bit a few timesand its no fun!

I think it's a Flower Spider aka Crab Spider.
