    Wow. What contrasts and both beautiful. All my love in a mist is blue. I only see a white one once in a while. Maybe a pink one.

    What an aptly titled post! The beast is a bit imposing, all right.

    I think the Dragon Flower is the beauty. 😦

    Even though it smells like rotten meat, I love the Dragon Flower too. Besides, it's only about a 12″ bloom!!! It's really outstanding.

    My D.vulgaris has finished blooming. Second year that it had bloomed for me. I started some nigella seeds really late, but I hope I get a chance to see a bloom or two.
