Day Eight: Tour de Malakoff


Day eight sees the cool shades of lilac beginning to predominate.  I don't think this experiment will last many more days, before the petals begin to fall.

 

 Here's a picture to give context, and also to show the many different stages of color of the roses in bloom on the Tour de Malakoff. Also in this picture are Rosa x. alba 'semi-plena' (foreground) and Rosa 'Sunflare' in the background, along with the moss rose to the right and Clematis montana var. sericea throughout.




Bonus picture of Illicium henryi, a relative of star anise.



And extra bonus moss rose.
