Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 13243
The flowers of this cactus are very large, showy, mostly white-pink in color, variously shaded and fragrant. They bloom at night and wilt by day.
I love orchids and this variety regularly reaches 60 centimetres, which is quite impressive. In my previous photo you can see how tall it stands in its habitat.

I've gone to Kyoto last weekend.
Whenever going there, I wish to live in the beautiful ancient city.
There were a lot of lily of the valley flowers, so in the forest was beautiful smell. walking there was absolutely fantastic :)
Cały las był pełen kwitnących konwalii i wszędzie czuć było ten ich piękny zapach. Spacerowało się jak w bajce :)
September — the first golden days of Autumn where the early morning air turns crisp, fruits are ripening in the hedgerows and the fragrant hop flowers hang in giant cascades in the hop gardens of England. Hop picking used to be a traditional seasonal labour for poor families who would travel from London's East End to the hop gardens in Kent, often walking the 35 miles and sleeping rough. By the 1950s, Mechanisation and cheap imports had brought an end to the tradition. The hop vine is a rather vigorous plant — I left mine to grow, as I wanted it the hops for photographing, but it's currently attempting to eat the garden! The title is from a poem, 'The Hop Garden' by Christopher Smart, written in 1752.
Bought a packet of seeds in the spring, enough to fill about six tubs with clouds of tiny fragrant flowers. Sweet Alyssum fills the garden with a scent a bit like warm honey on a sunny afternoon. A winner with me and also loved by the insects.

The climbing rose of Joseph's Coat features multicolored blossoms with ever-changing petals of yellow, orange and red. What a beauty!
Fragrant white jonquils basking in the late afternoon sun here at Kogarah Bay in the southern suburbs of Sydney!
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera (macro mode). Processed a little in Snapseed.
The jonquils are a feature of the garden of Gwen, aged nearly 95.
Today Gwen received her 'Order Of Australia' award for services to the community, essentially in her care for war veterans and their families. This was part of the Queen's Birthday Honours for 2020.
Gwen received a letter today from the Premier of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian, for being awarded an Order of Australia.
I read the letter to Gwen in her garden beside the huge pot of jonquils (see above image) which she has nurtured since 1967. Hard to believe, but they just keep popping up as jonquils do decades later - and even though winter hasn't really even started in Sydney!
Cheers from Kogarah Bay!

As I’m playing catch-up here I have quite a few spring images to post. I had a wonderful time amongst the wild garlic even if I was a bit late to the party. Such an aromatic plant although you soon lose the smell in the realm of creativity. A wonderful little pathway, leading me to this spot with the help of Stuart East. Very generous of him to share it with me.

The flowers are fragrant at night.
