It was so dry over the summer but in the last 2 weeks weve gotten over 15 inchs of rain. ANd now you cant tell summers over and we are sliding into Fall.

My yards is still as bright and colorful as always.
Heres a pic of my Perfumer Delight rose. I cut it for my brother Eli since he cant get out to see them. I was in awe of how big it was getting as it opened...and you could smell its scent before you entered his room.

first day I cut it


Second day


third days...ITS HUGE!!


My three Knockout roses


My mini cannas with the tropical Ginger down front




The whole front leading up to the door


My lil teasures too small to see in the pics
Mini red roses

mini white

Mini azlea (the palest of pinks...couldnt get the color on camera)


And...the darlings of my yard that cause ppl to stop and ask what they are. My Bougainvilleas. Only 4 are in blooms but the rest are close behind,,,just hope they do it before they die back for winter.

My purple bush


my rambling Hot Pink Mama (shes rambling into all the surrounding plants...tho it said give her a 3 foot spacing..uh huh)


And the last 2 have a story. I bought a pot on sale at Walmart and it had 3 bougainvilleas in it (ya know, to make them look fuller) But I never transplant them that way. I run water gently over the roots to seperate and then I have 3 plants. Well, only one of these were in bloom when I bought. Its the palest of lavanders. Well, I transplanted them in a lil group for show when they started bloomins. Well, guess my surprise when one turned out to be a girl!!! LOL Lookit
My lovely Lavender

And my pretty in pink baby girl

WOW what beautiful blooms you have in your garden Pinkie!! I love all your roses and your bougainvilleas are really lovely. I think my favourite has got to be the lavender one.

Eli must have loved having that beauty of a rose in his room and being able to smell it's wonderful perfume.

magnificent flowers parade! I had a big sigh after looking at them.They look quite nice.
I always like seeing bougainvilleas. Yours are looking quite good. I wish that I could grow them here.

The Perfumer Delight rose is a real looker, isn't it? It seems to get prettier with each day.

It was good to see these fotos, I am glad that you still have so much colour going on there.

I wish my yard looked as well. I've been doing too much inside to really keep up with the outside. I seem to have more allergies here in Texas, too. You have done a wonderful job of getting things to grow for you there. dooley
