Love the Carding Mill so much, very nice photos...

where did you get the seeds for that opium poppy?! I've been looking for something like that!
Beautiful garden!

Jason, I bought these seeds from Select Seeds. I bought them as Lauren's Grape, but received mislabeled seed of different variety. Still like it a lot, although I really wanted Lauren's Grape.

Oops, forgot to tell you that there is another source for poppy seeds - One Stop Poppy Shoppe.

Thank you sooo much! your poppies are awesome!

Er... Roses is what I ment to say was awesome...

Rosanna, I'm so glad you didn't feel like doing anything today. What a feast for the eyes; beautiful roses and flowers, and so beautifully photographed! Thank you for these wonderful pictures.

Ingrid

Thank you, Ingrid! Rosanna is the name of the first photographed rose, my name is Marina :))))

Great pictures. Love your selection of roses too.

OMG, your photos make me drool like my dog does when I am filling his bowl. The colors of your roses are fabulous. I would never come in from the garden if I lived in your place!

So Gorgeous Marina!!! Beautiful photography and roses. I especially Manuel Canovas, Rotkappchen, and Blue for You, and that Magnolia is drop dead-gorgeous, so hilarious and ironic that they call it Teddy Bear.... That ain't no Teddy Bear. It's a Swan Lake of a Magnolia.

So many lovely pics, thanks for sharing.

Great pic of Bouquet Parfait.

Love your photos--the Rosanna rose is a new to me--I'm fascinated by it!

And thank you for the Lady of Shalott picture. I have a new plant of her--in bud but hasn't opened yet. I'm really looking forward to seeing her bloom like yours.

Blue for Your--love it. I assume that is its true color, but so unexpected. I've never seen roses that color.

Lots of beautiful roses here. You ought to be busting your buttons!

Mary Magdalene did me in.
Then I saw your urn with strawberries. How lovely- everything you post is so romantic. I love your photos and your garden and your roses. And your magnolias and poppies, too.

Lovely, Marina! I like that Rosanna!

You take such amazing pictures. I always look forward to your posts because I know I'll get a feast for the eyes. :)

All the flowers are quite nice. Some of them I am not familiar with, but thanks much for sharing.

Seil, Brittie, Bustopher, thank you very much!
Marina

LOVE Malicorne...I looked and HMF and nobody here appears to offer it...but I love deep reds! Also really like Blue for you.

I can't get over how much more pink your Bouquet Parfait is than mine! Mine is almost completely white!

Tammy

Outstanding photography of the plants in your dreamy garden, Marina. I'm very happy that you treated yourself to walking around and photographing them. Needless to say that your treat is our treat as well! Thanks so much! :)

Dove Song, you've made one of the loveliest comments here! I am so happy that someone besides myself could enjoy my garden!
Thank you very much!
Marina

Thank you, Marina! You've made my day a whole lot better! (((hugs)))

The strawberry plant is lovely

Florence

Wow, your garden is superb! Love the double poppy- so lush. And your photography is great!

I think your roses are very beautiful! Rosanna, Manual C, Mary M, Magdalene, Balitmore B, Malicorne, Young L and Rotkappchen are very very pretty. I have never seen a poppy with so many petals :O

Glorious!!!

Roseanna makes my heart sing!! I really like Blue for You - I want it!! I also love your Carding Mill and Magnolias. I've never seen a magnolia bloom before - so porcelain looking.
Carol - many thanks!!
