Finally have a moment to post some pics

10 years ago

Been so busy working and then relatives came for a visit. I can't seem to catch up on the pics... more and more blooms opening daily and so little time to get them downloaded and tweaked. But just thought I'd drop in a few for now...

BROWN VELVET - I can't believe it's actually "brown" right now!

BULL'S EYE - looking totally different from the first two yrs! Must be the cooler weather we're experiencing.

And here's my first attempt at making recycled glass garden art. They call them "Totems" on Pinterest. I'm having fun designing them and shopping for old cheap glassware to use in them.

Glad you posted here. Fun totems. My friend used to make tea cups on posts for the garden. Thought that would be in with tea roses

How nice that you were able to use so many of the seeds and plants and statuary from your mother's garden for her memorial bed. I also like that you added the canna, one of her wishes. Do you use all those herbs in your cooking? Some of the ones I grow are just for their aroma. I loved my 2nd year ws Verbascum violette. Am deadheading for more flowers. Had many 2nd year columbines blooming and all were lovely but no Orgami though Songbird looks similiar.

Lana, Becky & Carla, FLIRTATIOUS is one of those J&P varieties that they only offered for a few seasons, and then it disappeared. However.... Roses Unlimited now carries it. It's a great garden rose. Mine is about 4Â½ft tall and around 4ft wide. It's a nice big fat bush. Blooms quite often and has a lot in each flush. Fairly disease reistant. The blooms eventually fade to a light pale yellow or cream. It's really quite interesting. Kate, PEER GYNT has been a really nice rose. I got it from Hortico a few yrs ago, and it blooms consistantly every season. And it's still in a big pot. The shop is going fairly well, thanks. And Pauline, I have NO energy. I work my regular job at Ace, then go to the shop for a few hours; work my days off too. My niece is there 6 days a week. We get lots of people coming in saying they're "sooo glad" we're here; then they say, "well be back!" It's going to be months and months before we see enough profit that I can quit my "real" job! But, that's the way it is. It takes a few yrs to get going. I just hope I can hang in there that long. I'm getting really tired and hope I don't get burnt out. Thanks for the best wishes guys!

Beautiful, Beth! Isn't it lovely when the funny colors actually
ARE those colors? It takes sun and cool, damp temps to develop the blue and purple haze over the orange petals so you get the Hershey bar chocolate haze over Brown Velvet and the other deeper russets. Those conditions also prevent Lavender Pinocchio from turning pink. Thank you for sharing! Kim
