My Garden Is Blooming






We have been having beautiful weather and I have taken time away from the computer
to enjoy more time in the garden and visiting with friends.  I thought you might like to
see what's blooming in my garden so far this summer.


"Ella" is new to me this summer and I think she is quite beautiful...






This rose has been with me for many years.  The apricot color varies with every stage of it's
blooming and it is always a surprise...







The final bloom is a softer hue and the size of a saucer...





Eternal Sunshine is always bright and sunny.  You almost have to wear sunglasses when this
rose is blooming, even on a cloudy day...




This is the show-off rose.  Absolutely loves to be dramatic...definitely not a shrinking violet....






I promise I'm getting to the very feminine pink roses!

The sage is also in full bloom which the bumble bees and hummingbirds love and all the flowers
benefit from that...




Even the cactus and all the succulents are in bloom...



Okay, back to the roses...




It looks like a little critter has landed on this old beauty...





Ahh, the lovely English roses....

Eglantyne is a soft and lovely pink rose...








Strawberry Hill is a bit brighter pink and also very beautiful...










I will save my other flowers for a future post.  Right now I am looking forward to visiting  all of your
lovely blogs over the next few days.

I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend.

Winter Succulents



As the lovely roses start to fade for a bit of a winter's rest...

The hardy succulents continue to thrive...


With all their many varieties...


Shapes...


Sizes...






And colors...



They are happy in a rustic setting...



Or a bit more formal...












Along with a statue of Bernadette...


purchased from Atelier De Campagne...





So while other flowers are taking a bit of a rest, succulents
have captured my heart...





However,  until my roses return in full bloom, I must always
have some pink flowering near my door...




I hope you all have a wonderful week!
