Every time I look at this image I think of burgundy velvet. The plant was so rich and so deeply saturated in this deep, dark color that I could hardly believe it was out in bloom in mid-summer! It reminds me of the autumn to come...

I love the color and texture here, Julie. The flower adds a nice contrast in color and all but otherwise, it doesn't do a whole lot for me. Maybe that's because it is so small compared to the leaves. I don't know for sure that that is it but I think so. That said, burgundy velvet describes it well.
