I went and took a look at the thread. It's a beautiful garden, and oh so lush. I don't usually look at the gallery, so your posting here led me to some nice pictures I otherwise probably would not have seen. Thanks for posting, and my compliments on your garden!

Thank you Melissa! I thought that might be the case-I mean that people don't look at the gallery, because I don't either-and it's a bit of an undertaking to take and post a bunch of photos so of course I (and I'm sure others?) want people to see what's posted.

Also, I realized I posted a url and not a link above so...

Here is a link that might be useful: link to my rose photos

Melissa, I hope you don't mind my asking, but is there a particular reason why you don't visit the gallery? I know you're not alone in this; in fact it may be the majority that stays on the discussion side. I've never really quite understood why but have a feeling that yours would be a good explanation.
