A yellow rose

Perhaps the most recognisable flower.

‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’ is a popular adage from William Shakespeare’s play  Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival house of Montague. Paraphrasing … no matter Romeo’s family name he would still be handsome and her love.

Other than this rose I noticed many of the flowers in the gardens around the village were losing their summer glory as we move closer to autumn.
