Dark Red Rose After Rain
This stunning dark red rose after a rain dazzled me while touring Yaddo Gardens, Saratoga Springs, NY. The Yaddo gardens include many varieties of roses, and other species of beautiful flowers. There are beautiful fountains and koi ponds on the grounds providing an inspirational environment for artists to create.
A vibrant red rose with water droplets on its petals is shown in close-up against a background of green leaves. The petals display a natural spiral and the rose appears to be in full bloom.
