Kentucky Color: Helen Flatt flower 2010-05-16 - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Greenhills, Columbia, KY KENTUCKY COLOR: Helen Flatt gave the writer the flower and also its name and provenance, but he's long since forgotten it and wonders if anyone can help him with it's identification By Billy Joe Fudge These photos taken by Libby are of a flower that the late Helen Flatt gave me from her private back yard garden. She gave me the name, a long and storied history of the plant and the space it occupied in her garden but of course it goes without saying that I have long since forgotten what she told me with the exception of the place in her garden. The flowers are about a half of foot across and beautiful as they can be. However, their smell can be quite tormenting to the human nasal palate but I am sure the smell is sweet as honeysuckle to the bees that visit daily.
