How about a ‘Black’ competition

On a dull, dank, dismal day even Black can be cheering. Who can post pictures of flowers or fruits blacker than these?
The Rhodochiton is a clinging, scrambling favourite that flowers all the summer and autumn months and the ‘Black Hamburg’
grapes in the daffodil tunnel provide a delicious and  enticing refuge from the constant rain of recent days. And there are also
 little daffodils in flower being battered by wind and rain. A few pics to come.

  1. Darn it — the wild grapes are already done here, and it was a bad year for the elderberries…I may have to search though.  Very nice pictures!

  2. Brian — you have me beat on black this late in the season, but the Giant Puffball is a pretty good representative on the white end of the spectrum this time of year.  This one is still rather small.  -Drew Mc Farland.

  3. Drew –
    Did you pick that puffball and fry it up with some garlic and olive oil?

  4. Brian, 

    There are some leaves of ” Sweat Gum” tree which may be that color in a few days but this dahlia just before frost  got close.

  5. Not a fan myself!   I think the practice in these parts is fried in butter with a light batter.
