Perfection.
A perfect rose bud.
This bud will grow and turn into a gorgeous yellow Graham Thomas English Rose with full multi-petaled blooms.
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.
Red Rhododendron bud
Rhododendron bud – this is Nova Zembla, my only Rhododendron. It’s in my back garden and it’s lovely. I look forward to it blooming each year.
