Here's a few more that are starting to bloom. I was on a smelling binge this afternoon with my nose buried in all the fragrant roses - I could not get enough!

A Few More From The Gardens...

Thanks! Actually, there's an entire aviary full of chickens, peacocks, and Muscovy ducks... this particular rooster is such a pain in the butt, he got kicked out of the aviary, and now wanders the yard, looting the surrounding area of its bug population! He crows at any time of the day, and even sometimes at night... I guess he can't tell time! The best thing about having chickens and ducks is that they produce a nice amount of natural fertilizer, which helps the gardens grow extremely well! The lilies are one of my favorite flowers... the scent of some types is very powerful. We have plans to add more to the various garden beds this fall!

mantis: I can only assume the lack of water and perhaps the late snowstorm and hard freezes we had this spring set SS back. It was doing so good when we had the spring warm up and then downhill. It is one of the ones I plan to move to the back garden. Linda: I'm willing to sweat a bit to get the pounds off from all the ice cream I've been eating the past month LOL. nat4b: I usually will get about 12 - 15 buds per scape on LOTW here. I still like this one even with the bad budcount this year. Ellie and Chris: Thanks for the comments. I took the photos of the one garden section last Thursday. Now, only a few blooms remain as of today. Sorry site for sure but makes it much easier to start moving plants. Julia

Beautiful Aprille! Your flowers and TIC are really beautiful and your pics of them excellent. Thanks for posting these. I really like the Iris just emerging and I especially enjoyed the ladybug having lunch:) I wish they'd show up down here, I have aphids running amok. It'll be another month before all the little toads show up for me. My fingers are staying brown from slicking & squishing them, LOL*

Gorgeous, Ken! Sunny Sky is so lovely and Baby's Blush does look like a very good pink. Love Compt de Chambroud. They're all very nice!

Thank you Jean & Carol.

Kathy - thank you. Soleil d'Or is classified as a Hybrid Tea/Hybrid Foetida. It's a wonderfuly fragrant rose and is covered in buds right now - I've only had mine a year and these are the first blooms. It's notorious for being a black spot magnet and totally defoliated for me this past fall, I thoguht that it was not going to make it - but it bounced back fine. I hope it makes it here in the garden as I don't spray ...
