Roses


The JFK rose has returned!

More lovely Hollyhocks.


The Iceburg rose and jasmine beneath as pretty as ever.


This incredibly sweet smelling rose keeps returning.


I was moved by the beauty of this plant.


And this is the photo I'll send to Martha Stewart when I apply to work for her. This hydrangea is my baby. I've taken very good care of it.

Hollyhocks, Lily, Mandevilla.


The first seeds I've raised have finally blossomed. It has been an amazing journey watching these grow. Together we conquered rust, snails, slugs, and all of it's brethren die. Today it is quite stately and proud, and so am I!
Also, our lily has moved indoors. It has a very nice fragrance, a more delicate version of the Stargazer variety.

And finally the Mandevilla, which is an excellent vine for the sun. I am very impressed by sun-loving flowers. Now we need to find a home for this beast!

Lilies and Hydrangeas

Our first lily finally bloomed:

And finally, the hydrangeas are all pink!
