gathered rosebuds
Carpe diem's harvest
Gathered rosebuds refers to pleasures seized while the opportunity existed, from the poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time": Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
The phrase evokes youth's fleeting joys, now past: She thought of her gathered rosebuds—the travels, the romances, the reckless summers.
