Floral interlude

Rose Chafer. Such beautiful beetles! "The metallic green coloration of the beetle is created structurally, by the reflection of mostly circularly-polarised light; like other scarabs, this is left circularly polarised: When viewed through a right circular polariser, the beetle appears to be colorless." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetonia_aurata

One rose - just one - in flower in the Rose Garden at the Secret Garden, though the buds are appearing. But there's no shortage of colour in the salvia beds:




Salvia 'So Cool Pale Blue'.


Upsy-daisy.

I'm just now suddenly wondering: are there also downsy-daisies?

[puddleshark]

Heh!

That would make sense. What goes upsy must come downsy.
