    I love your flowers, every one of them. With the heat and lack of rainfall my garden is mostly non-existant this summer. I hope to do better with a fall garden.

    Thanks for the lovely pictures.

    Hi Kay,..you made me hungry mentioning Vanilla Ice Cream,..and that white rose is aptly named,..now i am unable to offer you Vanilla but how about some Peach Roses.

    That red rose is beautiful! Bet your neighbours are very jealous when they see your garden, I know I would be!

    Hi Cheryl,..that Peach Rose can easily be taken for a yellow rose depending on the light when taking a picture,..its very similar in colour when just about to bloom,..lots of red then it turns pure yellow.

    A whole bush of yellow roses for your eyes.

    Hi Philip,
    Good to hear from you. I am sorry you are having such a trial & tribulation with your eyes. Our daughter has had the same problem, although maybe not to the same extent. I know it is painful. I hope it improves soon. Our daughter's eye has gradually gotten better.

    I love your garden photos. My favorites are (of course) the orange & peach roses. The verbascum is incredible too. I also love the Vanilla Ice Cream rose, the combination of white-cream-& different shades of green has always appealed to me. Finally, my other favorites are the hollyhocks. Some of those are just gorgeous.
    Good to hear from you!

    Thanks for the roses Philip!
    So you get to start a whole new garden? Fun! Looks like you've got a good start. Do show us how it progresses please.

    Hi Cayuga Morning,
    visited the Hospital yesterday and of course as expected i left in the same condition however i was referred to the Galway Hospital Specialist which means a train journey,.. but when i was there last time there was a huge waiting time,..i declined doing this and decided to go private,..costly but quicker and more efficient.

    Sorry to hear your Daughter went through something similar,..pain in the eye sure is something to stop one in their tracks,..delighted to read she has recovered.

    Some blooms for you.

    Hi Cheryl,
    ah its a shame you can not get the scent of those yellow roses,..overwhelming scent best describes them.

    I will be doing a post on my neighbors garden,..plenty of blooms,..but it will not mature for another year,..or more,..here is a sample.
