WITH ALL OF THE RAIN THAT WE HAVE HAD...
My flowers around the yard have been incredibly beautiful. I wish that you could see them.
I have had purple and white Irises, Pink Sweet Williams, I have a Syringa that has the prettiest white blossoms and they have the sweetest scent that any one could ever possibly imagine.
We have a really pretty purple Clemetis, A red rose and a yellow and pink Peace rose, as well as a couple others. Eventually I want to fill the flower bed in the front yard with all kinds of roses.
I am hoping to put a new rose or two in every spring of different varieties. Most of the flowers that we have here are spring varieties. The Syringa only lasts a couple of weeks, The Clemetis usually lasts about a month, The Sweet Williams appear to only last about a month. Eventually I would like this yard to look like pictures that you see of English Gardens. I want flowers everywhere. Have you ever seen a Giant Hibiscus? I have to get me one of those! My crazy neighbor had some in her front yard, as I recall she had 3 different colors of Hibiscus. She had someone dig them up for her last year. She decided that she didn't like them any more. The blossom is about the size of a Dinner Plate. They are incredible.
