I was taking a photo of this rose, Breath of Life, when a wasp or hornet was heading towards it for a visit. I didn’t notice the wasp as I took the photo so it was a nice surprise to see that I’d captured it in the photograph.
An English Rose
This is an English rose and it’s known as simply Moulineux. Isn’t it a lovely rose?
In the spring this rose has more yellow in it’s petals, but during the hot weather of summer it tends to get more colour in it’s petals. I think I actually like this version of Moulineux best with it’s pale yellows and corals.
Shades of things to come
These are sedum buds. This plant normally flowers near the end of August or early September and makes a colorful fall bloom.
Even when the bloom fade it’s dead flowers on their dried stalks are quite pretty to leave in place through the winter.
About to bloom
This is an Alium. This plant is related to the onion family, however this one is an ornamental flower. This Alium bud is just about to flower. It should be in full bloom any day now.
This bud looks large in this photo but it’s actually only about an inch and a half tall by an inch in diameter at the most. It sits on a stalk that is a foot and a half tall.
