and still a fave. Morticia is an older flower. some might consider it fairly common by today’s standards. it has not lost its sparkle for me. never be afraid to like what you like…

morticia is still a beauty
Oh yes she is. The contrast of the greyed eye to the dark purple petals never fails. Thanks beth !
That’s pretty, John.
Morticia is quite the flower. Pinched petals, contrasting eye zone, and a rich royal purple. Works for me. Thanks Dan. Glad you enjoy it.
Simple beauty is timeless.
Timeless always leads me to rosemary and sageless. Is there a word association thesaurus vaccination coming out soon ? Oh in regards to daylilies their timeless beauty lasts only a day. Now if they are planted in a mature clump another timeless beauty will frequently replace it the following day. What is your favorite philosophical discussion flavor of tea ? Or does philosophy require something stronger ? Happy Thursday Pam.
Well, since were talking about plants I guess a Rosehip tea (green). But a philosophy discussion I think would require a stronger tea say a Cream of Avalon (black). And quite frankly perhaps a chaser of Bordeaux.
Morticia is a great name for such a looker.
It is. The name always reminds me of the TV Morticia blissfully removing the flowers from a bouquet of roses. I believe it was so she could properly admire the thorns. And their piercing beauty. Ah the eye of the beholder…
A gran dame indeed;-)
