Thanks Lyn, glad you are enjoying them!
First bloom on Cafe
and Helen Hayes, man I love this rose, thanks Zuzu! It's just stunning and she and I both added so many lovely examples of it's beauty to the database. (from a small cutting probably 2.5 years ago, it's now 5-6 feet tall, in 1/2 day shade so it gracefully leans over)
Summer Song, (from which I named my Etsy shop) is such an intensely deep orange, thanks to the cool overcast mornings. The little lavender blooms are Geranium 'Bill Wallis' which I have all over the garden. It makes a great sprawling cover for beneath a rose, self seeding everywhere but easy to remove where you don't want it.
Little mini
Iris are making pops of early color, as are a few clematis, the roses will be in full flush within a couple of weeks, can hardly wait! Penny enjoys roaming the garden, lately the two dogs (Penny the tiny toy poodle & Kasey the Yorkie) have been alerting us to recent gopher activity. Brad killed one a cople of days ago and I dispatched an iris eating one yesterday, he is now worm food.
My favorite rose, Brothers Grimm, is right behind the golden
Juniper (Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone') look how shiny and huge it is!
