"It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees."
- George Eliot
The last of the rose of Sharon petals fell a few days ago, but not before I photographed the purple flowers after a late summer rain.

I popped in from Oh My Heartsie. It's been a while since I linked up. I always enjoy your flower photos. I also took pictures of the flowers in my garden (this morning) with water droplets, but mine wasn't rain, rather the sprinkler system. :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Thank you for sharing and for hosting.

Love how the rain and the flower are so perfect together.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. When I first saw your post title, the song "My Favorite Things" popped into my head - "Raindrops on Roses and whiskers on kittens". Darn, now I'll be humming this all day. :D
ReplyDeleteThat song is exactly why I named it that! I'm glad someone else noticed, but apologize for getting it stuck in your head. ;D
DeleteHaha...Almost Precious is on the same page as me. That song popped into my head the minute I read your title :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
Wow, amazing capture! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so magical!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
Gorgeous picture. I love the angle and focus you chose. Very cool looking.
ReplyDeleteoh so pretty and delicate! love the soft purple shade
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Love the dew effect.
ReplyDeleteLovely effect of the raindrops of the velvety petals. Here's a little bit of trivia for you:
ReplyDeleteIn Ireland that plant is known as Mallow & comes in many varieties, some wild. Our Rose of Sharon is a short herbaceous shrubby plant with smooth bright green leaves & buttercup yellow/golden flowers with red stamens. After the petals drop a red fruit much like a rosehip develops.
Morning Kristin, just letting you know that I added your WW banner to my sidebar today.
ReplyDeleteMaybe too you would like to stop by for Weekends Are Fun Party. Have a great weekend.
