This is a beautiful antique rose with a scent that I’m certain has been incorporated into several perfumes over the last century or two. It has a beautiful damask scent that wafts through the garden in the early and late morning hours.
A black flower?
Yes, this is a Black Hollyhock.
Isn’t it’s dark glossy petals beautiful?
I grow this dark horse of a hollyhock between my lovely Compte de Chambord antique roses, Japanese Maple and the raspberries so it’s surrounded by shades of red and pink. It looks quite lovely among it’s companions.
Sun, Sand and Surf
Another beautiful day at the beach.
This photo of The Beach was taken in Toronto in early September. Everyone was enjoying the warm rays of the sun and the cooling waters of Lake Ontario.
Fading Morning Glory
I’ve come to think of the Morning Glory Vine as a weed in my garden as it does much too well reseeding itself hundreds of times over. Yet, it’s flowers are lovely.
Morning Glory flowers bloom in the early morning hours and gradually close up and die off by late day. This flower is in the process of dying, but it’s still very pretty and colorful isn’t it?
