    The more I see of your garden the more I wish I could see it for myself.

    I don't think I've ever seen a white Lavatera before Philip. It's far more attractive than the pink ones seen over here.

    Eileen,..Its the colour in the middle of the white that makes it attractive,..now its just beginning to bloom,..i have only come across the pink Lavatera once around where i live,..they are easy enough to grow from cuttings.

    Beautiful flowers Philip! The shots of the swan &babies are great too! They are so graceful.

    My husband & I were in Ireland last fall & saw the fuchias growing wild in the hedgerows. Incredible.

    I don't think I have ever so many beautiful roses! All of your gardens seem so full and sooo colorful! Roses don't do well here so I'm really enjoying your pictures!

    Thank you,
    We had so much rain from October to February the ground was well watered,..then from March 25th the temperatures were up to 33C-94F,..that was in my garden,..the lowest was 13C-58F,..a perfect balance for promoting blooms.

    Delighted you are enjoying the Roses,..i am sure there is a Rose to suit your area and climate,..they do grow in very cold areas,..very hot areas and some in semi shade,..Roses are top of my list in the garden so i try growing new ones from cuttings every year,..most i give away if i am not pleased with the bloom,..what i want is a change from the parent plant and it does happen for me from time to time.
