55, brisk and cool this morning. The weather has been gorgeous all week, so we have been in the gardens every day. Still so much more to do!
Here's a quick look at what's happened this week in the flower gardens.
One if my favorite roses is this one that my mother called a Tudor rose because of the colors. I planted this three or four years ago but the deer ate it back so often that it seldom bloomed. So I moved it to the new rose garden, close to the house.
A new rose last year. This is a tea rose. It's pretty pale pink color doesn't show well in my photo.
A tiny red miniature rose, which is surprisingly hardy here. It is at least 3 years old.
A new phlox I planted two weeks ago. I love phlox but have only had luck with the old-fashioned variety. Fingers crossed in this one.
This is the corner I revamped last year, pulling out huge overgrown evergreens. My goal for this corner is color that I can see from the porch.
Part of the same garden, where the annual pink primroses(?) have made themselves very much at home.
This was an expanded garden last year, and
The drift roses are coming into their glory now. I need more of them! Well, maybe not need, but sure would like.
A hodgepodge of chives in bloom, tiny parsley that you probably cannot see, lettuce, and the new rhubarb plants.
Yet another rode, this one a gift from a sweet friend several years ago.
And a late blooming peony. I have added several peonies in the past year, only one of which bloomed this year. This one is 5 years old and doesn't bloom well because it is in a too shady location.
And my oldest rose, at least 40 years old. It blooms sparingly, but smells wonderful.
Your landscaping is beautiful. So much work has gone into these areas!
