Gourd, that was one of the first blooms to open on Velvet Plum. Seems like the first ones in general are often the biggest, most sumptious flowers. Yesterday and this morning, after all the cooler, cloudy, rainy weather we've been having, the flowers are suddenly smaller, but these particular vines have hardly begun yet - maybe when the sun comes out?

Here's a couple more blooms on the same vine, same day - the tones are even more black, and the smudge on the white picotee edge looks downright decadent
