A Tiffany Rose...

One of my favorite Roses,

she is always full of blooms

and not demanding at all,

a good girl:-)

Here is Sexy Rexy,

He has the sweetest small flowers,

but never very happy in my garden...

a naughty boy!

While I was taking photos,

the Salvia was too pretty to ignore :-)

My April in Paris...

I first fell in love with the smell...

A wonderful strong fragrance!

Although I have no idea

why the color is brindle this year,

The bush is happy and flowers are plenty

but.. the color is crazy!

another pretty that caught my eye today

was the Jacobs Ladder.

I love that it make the garden smell like grape juice:-)

Since almost all my roses are pink or purple,

I plant blue, white and purple for their companions.

My Eden Roses...

layers upon layers of delicate petals,

Just like a tissue paper roses come to life!

they make my heart swoon!

They just reached the top of the arbor this spring,

but... the blooms have been suffering in the rain,

this is the first good grouping...

I am so excited to get a photo!

Paint by Flowers...

I had a fun morning garage sailing in the rain:-)

Only one good sale to be found...

but she had lots of wonderful goodies:-)

This plate is my only pretty in pink find though...

It is stamped Bavaria..

The dainty hand painted roses are dreamy...

They reminded me of the roses

on the "Cottage Rose " bush in the front garden.

Since I can't paint dreamy roses,

(although I wish I could)

I decided that I could... 

 paint by flowers...

So here is my little replica :-)

Flowers, Peas and Pods...

I though today I would share,

some random pretties from around the garden...

(click photos to enlarge)

The magical purple spheres of Verbena...

The most vividly colored Lupine...

The lazy grace of Foxgloves...

Volunteer Kenilworth Ivy reseeds itself freely about the garden,

this was a lovely by chance planting,

Rockcress is mixed in and still blooming a little...

My first blooms of my Simply Marvelous Rose,

well named,  I believe!

A stand of Lavender Poppies...

Their whimsical seed pods...

A perfect bud,

on the Zephirine Drouhin Rose....

So pretty...

I had to show it again from the other side,

I couldn't decide which I liked better:-)

The gracefulness of the veggies can't be overlooked...

The Snow Peas are abundant.

Cashew tofu with fresh snow peas, Mmmm!
