Monday Morning Walk

Song - Busy Bee by Arthur Askey

Have you ever heard a flower hum?

Well, I have!

There must be a thousand big, black, bumble bees in this Wisteria tree.  I can hear it hum from 20 feet away!



 Let's continue our walk from yesterday. 

 Azalea

Sunday I showed you the beginning of my vegetable garden.  Today we are going to wander through the shade garden.

 Dogwood

A babbling creek below the shade garden

 Ferns are unfurling

Hosta's filled with water are erupting

And Primroses are happily growing amongst the wild strawberries.

Did I every tell you that my Dad's mom was named Violet after the flower?  

And her twin sister was Daisy?  

And their other sisters were flowers as well - Lily and Rose?

The Roses Have Arrived

Song - Romanza by Andrea Bocelli

Love this one's name - "Playgirl"

Oh my goodness 

but my garden is just a riot of color right now! 

We had a few days in the eighties last week and everything exploded.  The Roses are just amazing and with their first bloom they always have a little more color.  But as the summer wears on, they tend to fade (like me!).

I would like you to meet my garden.......and if you are ever in the area, please stop by and say "hello".

"Sombrueuil" growing along the stairs

"Golden Celebration" (I think)

"Double Delight" - My Grandfather's favorite

Even the shade garden is blooming.  Don't you just love white and green?  To me it is so soothing.

A flat of Zinnia's waiting to be planted.  Unfortunately I bought them just as the heat wave hit and I lost a couple.  But MOM I have be watering them twice a day!!!

 The Bearded Iris are still putting on quite a show.  I was talking with a friend in Painting Class today and we both agreed that for what ever reason, the Iris are spectacular this year

"French Lace" one of my favorites!

 

The Sweet Pea's are happy as well.

 I wish blog's had a "scratch & sniff" so you could smell this sweet Lilac!

"Sally Holmes Climber"

"Sharifa Asma"

"John F. Kennedy"

 

 

And the Dogwood trees...... ahhhhh......

Thanks for visiting!
