This is a hybrid tea rose that came out in 1967. I took the shot with black posterboard behind the rose. I tried to clean it up with PS. Not as perfect as I would have liked it to be.
Several of the trees in this park are host to a colony of orchids. Unfortunately I missed their flowering season, but my guide books seem to suggest that they are Cymbidium cochleare, the fragrant cyperorchis.
It is clear that sweet, soft and pleasant fragrances are more attractive than foul and pungent odours. But how come we detest smelly feet and love stinky cheese? During Odorama we'll explore everything that reaches the nose, including terribly bad smells. Inhale your supressed fears and longings, meet the skunk living in the Amsterdam Zoo through your nose, taste the most fantastic stinky cheeses and learn why farts are so much more than clouds of smelly gas. Is stench in the nose of the beholder or shall we just make a run for it? We dare you to come and join us.

The last "scenic" shots from my summer of 2011. Another beautiful sunset shot taken from The ONE mall in Tsim Sha Tsui looking over to the ICC side of the harbour. Taken with the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS II L. Great shot that looks even better when Viewed On Black

A few rays of sunlight is all it takes to light up these tiny flowers like candles. The perfume from this species is magic.
This was a very fragrant tall hedge; I couldn't identify what it was, though.
Thanks to the "What plant is that?" group, though, it's been identified as mock orange, which explains the luscious orange blossom scent. (Though it also has a hint of jasmine to me.)

The last orchid to flower on Bisamberg: the fragrant orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea). This year it is wetter than last and the flowers look better.
Spiranthes odorata. This is the largest of our native ladies' tresses. It spreads by its roots and can form clonal colonies. It is widespread throughout Florida. It typically grows in floodplains and tolerates inundation. The bees and the butterflies were enjoying these flowers.
