The transparency of the petals comes to meet the central powerful colours like a veil framing a beautiful bride's face... Voted

Gorgeous, and almost like a watercolor image. Very ethereal and delicate. Exquisite!! (And I am going to be on the hunt for the grape popsicle scent next time I encounter one of these beauties in person!)
Theresa Tahara replied:
It's true. Each one that is purple has that scent unless it is overly cultivated like roses that were bred for beauty and they forgot about the scent. Blah blah, I talk too much. Thanks for the comment. ;-D
