Solstice sun

This rose is from the OTHER solstice, the summer one, but I show it with a nod to our Down Under friends. For us in the throes of darkness in the Northern Hemisphere, here is an image to remind us that as the earth tips tonight, it is bringing us ever closer to the light.

Flaming dahlia

Another nod to the nearness of the Solstice. This dahlia is like the sun, is it not?

Datura flower

I saw this in the New York City Cloisters herb garden post below. The full name on the sign was “Horn of Plenty, Downy Thorn Apple, Datura metel (Solanaceae).” They say it is poisonous, but so lovely!

Orange brugmansia

The weather has gotten too cold for this brugmansia (Angel’s Trumpet) plant to stay on the patio, so into the living room it has come until the warm weather returns. Every night the scent perfumes the entire house.
