Sheffield with the milkweed seedpods, millefolium yarrow, and salvia elegans leaves.
There is something almost artificial about the apricot-like color. What color is this?
But there is also great variability in the colors. These yellow-tinged petals of the same plant.
The flying, nectar seeking creatures are mad for the Sheffield.
Unknown flies.
The carpenter bee on that dainty flower makes me giggle. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI would call that color "Fairy Pink". Curious -- have the yellow flowers been in bloom longer? Do the blooms change color as they age?
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteThe color is deepest when the buds are just unfurling, then lighter and more apricot-white as they open full. Then, as they start to get older they turn pretty close to white and then develop rose pink splotches. I should photo them now as they've hit the splotchy phase.
ReplyDeleteThe yellowish coloring was just odd, I had never seen that before, but these were under the rose bush and maybe the shade had something to do with it.
I don't know what that color is called but I love it!
