This withered flower is like an old, stylish lady in her festive dress.

Where has she got that special, delicate fabric?

At Malaga. Hot. At times 36 degrees.

I am interested of a plant that has no leaves, only very dark purple flowers. It looks like a miniature tree. Height some 50 cm.

It has been a cool summer. Early in spring I sowed a few sweetpea seeds and finally one of them began to bloom. Translucent flowers,  the branches that bend in all directions.
