Yesterday, I cut back my Sequoia Gold within an inch of its life. It had the lovely Hoplia beetles and spent blooms. It looks almost like it did back in January. I hope it recovers.

There are repairs going on with my master bathroom shower since Monday. I think I have cleaned up dust to fill up a dump truck. Still more to clean tonight and tomorrow morning. I hate having my house disrupted. I find it super stressful.

Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. Mini Mouse is in bloom! What a cutie she is! She looks like a firework explosion without all the noise.

Mini Mouse aka Roller Coaster (I prefer Mini Mouse)

This is a patio rose I saved from a fate worse than death from the grocery store

I love it when she starts to turn pink along the edge of her blooms. So, so pretty and delicate.

My Princess Alexandra of Kent is just blooming up a storm. I think she likes her new location in the garden. I am glad to see good things from her this year.

I did like the suggestion of virtual touring of our gardens. I have been making some videos for my folks, who are in an assisted living facility. I am not sure that they liked them. My mom said she appreciated my presentation on grafting fig trees. I have never grafted a fig tree in my life let alone made a video of it. She must have watched something else on youtube than my video. Confused
