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.
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.
I thought I’d post this lovely photo of Holy since it’s the Christmas season.
I grow this plant in my small garden. The holy hasn’t grown much since I planted it about four years ago so it’s only about 2.5 feet tall, but it produces lovely red berries each autumn and has beautiful glossy leaves all year round.
A beautiful Balloon Flower.
This photo was taken in September as you can probably tell from the autumn like lighting and colors. This flower is normally a cross between blue and purple but as the weather cools the color purple reigns.
