The "black" rose above is simply a white rose on a black background with the colors reversed. The Blanket Flowers (the last photo) in my yard are still blooming.Please visit Freda's Quote It Saturday, Macro Flowers Saturday, Weekend Flowers, Flowers on Saturday and Today's Flowers.

Three haunting images of beauty, and cool quotes to go with them! I deleted the above comment due to a typing error.
The white rose looks so effective as a monochrome! Exquisite! And love the bold colour of the blanket flower!
Very nice macros.
Nice work with the black rose, it looks amazing.
The blanket flowers are pretty too but your header photo is the one that really took my breath away.
Have a great weekend Judy!
this black/white rose is wonderful! thanks for joining weekend flowers with your beauties :)
This is awesome.. I love how you captured them.. So lovely..
I was about to ask how you did the black rose. it looks like glass. all of your photos today are beautiful. the first one is like a painting and would be nice on a dining room wall.
I wondered how you did the middle one, thanks for explaining. I agree with Sandra: they are all beautiful, and even just the tiniest bit spooky. Well, the black rose at least. :-)
i do like the negative treatment you gave that shot. :)
Your 'negative' rose is wonderful.
Lovely flowers and Halloween quotes!
I love the combination of pumpkins, leaves and, flowers! Beautiful!
Beautiful colors.

These are all beautiful photos! You're so lucky to have those flowers left in your yard, so full of color! My favorite is the rose. I agree with Sandra, it looks like glass.
Have a nice weekend!
Great pictures, one and all...and I am amazed at your black rose!
I always wondered what that blanket flower is...I've seen them at the Botanical Garden but didn't see the identifying placard.

Love the blanket flowers. You are lucky that they are still blooming defying winter to arrive. The rose is spooky a good one for Halloween.
The treatment of the rose makes it look so spooky! I guess the cone flowers still are blooming this time of the year,
Great images.
Happy halloween.
Amazing and very vivid colors, and that black rose is very mystical.
