I think Clematis flowers are lovely, but when the flower fades away and a seed head develops? On some types of clematis, the seed head is as pretty or even more beautiful than the flower it replaced!
Now the Daniel Deronda Clematis is lovely. It has deep purple, thick, velvet petals. It’s outstanding to view …. but then this lovely, almost feathery seed head develops and it’s almost equal in beauty.
This rose is one of the stars of my garden. It only blooms every once in a while, unlike the rose that it replaced (Love and Peace) which bloomed it’s head off each and every summer until it’s demise.
No matter … it’s a pretty rose and I’m happy to see each and every one of it’s stingy blooms. LOL
These little beauties are called The Fairy rose. They’re small roses, maybe an inch in diameter, but the rose bush blooms prolifically and is absolutely covered with roses. Roses all summer long in fact.
The Fairy is a hardy rose and because it’s almost constantly in bloom it’s perfect for someone that wants an easy care garden.
Alium are such strange flowers … they are part of the onion family, but of course the ones we grow in our garden are ornamental and I’m sure are inedible.
These Alium tend to bloom at the end of June for me, but this year we’ve had a cooler than normal summer so they didn’t start to bloom until maybe the second week of July! Either way, we enjoyed seeing them … too bad they only bloom once.
