I took this photo of one of my beautiful pink tulips last year. The flower was just about blown and the petals were almost spread out flat.
Usually by this time of year here in Toronto the snow’s melted and some of the first flowers of spring have started to make an appearance. That’s not the case this year though. We still have a fair amount of snow. Oh it’s melting, but it will take a while before our spring flowers begin to make an appearance.
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.
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.
