I have a young Rose of Sharon tree/shrub in my backyard. Each autumn it produces a lot of seeds from the last of the flowers. What you see in this photo are the seed hulls at the ends of the branches covered in snow. From a distance it looked like the tree was covered in cotton balls.
Believe it or not this is a rose. It’s a rose from the Romantica series called Yves Piaget. Isn’t it lovely?
This rose has a beautiful light scent as well. That only makes it all the more enjoyable.
A happy bumble bee gathering pollen from a Malva Sylvestra flower.
In the fall the bumble bees were happily enjoying all of my flowers that were still in bloom, gathering the last of the pollen for the year. It’s amazing how many bumble bees a small garden can fill up with on a nice autumn day. I’m glad bumble bees are calm and don’t mind being photographed.
This is one of the newer roses in my garden. It’s called Chicago Peace and it’s a hybrid tea. Isn’t it lovely? I figured that a rose with the word peace in it would make a great first post for 2008 as I wish everyone health, happiness and peace for the new year.
