The rose bushes near the driveway always bloom in the late spring, April and May generally. (For example, here, here, here… plenty more to see as well.)
It’s nowhere near spring, closer to the start of fall, but for some reason this plant decided to pop one really late or really really really early, amazing, stunning bloom.
The colors and shading were exquisite.
In a row of dormant plants, this one stood out like a beacon.
It’s started to fade and wilt already, victim of the late summer heat. But it was gorgeous in its time! Even as unusual as that time was.
