"I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error."
While weeding my flower garden, I noticed this perennial flower has returned. Of course, so have the various weeds and grasses. I can hardly wait to photograph this plant in all of its lovely stages. It is one of those plants that bring me pleasure, no matter the season.
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. 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. 50222

Annual tradition of mass destruction
In the name of total reconstruction
My biggest source of confusion
The reason of decay and disillusion
Oh, wonderful Lobelia,
Born in the high Mount Kenya
Your Flowers are some lovely Chimes
Which sing not only during Nights
But are of Beauty in their Colours
Which do attract not only Lovers
You catch the Dew Drops in the Morning
Before another Day is dawning

I can't remember what flowers these day. I planted these last spring and was sure they were not going to survive the winter in the raise flower bed I built, but I was wrong no only did they survive, they are thriving!!

This photo was taken on perennial glacier of Mount Cevedale, in the Italian Alps at 3300 meters, one of the few sunny days in the mountains this summer, which allowed me to take this shot, with a piece of blue sky.

This autumn feels like funeral to me
The longest song of grief
And not for what has passed
But for what shall last… Tatiana Shmailyuk
"As perennial as the grass", do you remember that line from Desiderata? **
Well, come October 1, the Jacarandas clock on and they are as perennial as the grass. One day, no flowers and within a day or so, like switching a light on, the trees start to bloom with their beautiful purple. As the weeks pass they get thicker and then, as fast as they come, they go and the season moves south. But while they are in bloom, Brisbane is Jacaranda city.
This shot was taken near Coronation Drive in Toowong. I rather,like the flowing architecture of the high rise behind, a bit of a difference to the bog standard cubist style! It is called "Rivers on the Park".

I tried stacking this flower but it was too windy so I upped the ISO and went for a small aperture to get the details of the flower. The cornflower puts on an impressive display.
