I'm turning into my mother.

My mom has had a long time love affair with all things pink. When I was a little girl she loved "Dusty Rose," so naturally my snotty little butt despised it. I rejected all things pink. Now, I have furniture painted in pink, I can't find enough clothes with pink roses on them... and looking into my garden there's pink EVERYWHERE. My mom's favorite rose, of course, is David Austin's Mary Rose, in full bloom now:
 
Other pinks in the garden today include this gold flame honeysuckle:
This big pink azalea that was here when I moved in:
Pale pink painted daisies:
Rose, Distant Drums: 
Columbine, McKana's Giant, from seed, changes from pinky to orchid purple as the blooms ripen.  
Coral Bells pink blooms during a rare moment without a hummingbird feeding of them:   
Peony:
The name of this rose in unknown, as I acquired it at a yard sale in nothern Wisconsin, but it is a beauty, and in just a few years it has grown so large.
I am surely becoming my mother, but its not so bad.

Winter is almost over, I promise.

Feeling the end-of-winter-I-simply-can't-wait-much-longer-for-spring blues? Here are some beauties from last May in my garden. They fill me with anticipation, and remind me there is life beyond the snow (that I also love so much).








Happy almost spring!

Bloom Season!

The blooms are a-flowin' outside right now. I'm overwhelmed, feeling so blessed, and I can't help but share!
Rose "John Cabot"



with rose "Morden Centennial"

Some lucky bird could move in here, but hasn't yet. :)

Rose "Hot Cocoa"

Rose "Ramblin' Red" giving us a kiss.


Here comes rose "Mr. Lincoln"

This one is supposed to be "Christian Dior" and obvisouly it's not. I'm guessing "Scentimental" or "Julio Iglesias."

Rose "Morden Centennial"


Rose "O'Rilla"



Clematis "Violet Charm"
Zuchini bloom
Foxglove

Campanula "Sarostra"



Rose "Brother Cadfael"

Peony "Karl Rosenfeld"



For the life of me I can't remember what these are called, but they're a little succulent type annual with blooms that only open in the sunshine.

Have a happy, happy day with your blooms everyone!
