Flax Flower Love...

It's not just about pretty flowers...

Can you see the beauty in the more unusual forms and shapes

 of the soon-to-be seed bearers of some plants?

I am particularly fond of flax flowers and seed heads.

So today's Mia Bella Gardens Photograph is of a flax seedhead.

These photographs were shot just before dusk.

I adore the way the light orbs dance in the background,

and how you can see the delicate strands of spider silk..

 Beautiful!

Can you see where the raindrop is hiding?
Found on a smaller variety of variegated flax, these flowers dressed in lime green, yellow, red and orange, are very dainty, compared to the size and shape of those on the large standard flax bush.

I think they are simply beautiful!

In Love with Roses...

Today's flower photograph is of a rose called 'Just Joey'.

Apricot and  peachy 

with a lovely scent = pure loveliness!
The blooms fade to a soft buff colour as they age.

One of my favourites,

it is a hybrid tea rose

with huge five inch blooms that have an unusual ruffled edge.

The bush is small to medium in size.

The bonus about this rose is that it is free-flowering!

In Mia Bella Gardens it blooms all summer long right through to early winter.
