Miniature happiness...

This sweet rosebush may be tiny but it produces these beautiful soft pink blooms all summer long. Thought I'd share.

Green Wizard...

What is a Green Wizard? Well it's a coneflower, Rudbeckia fulgida 'Green Wizard'. My favorite description reads, "This unusual black-eyed Susan is the black eye without the Susan!" I try to buy one packet of quirky seeds each year. I started six from seed. Two plants made it thru winter. We didn't have blooms last year but we do this year. The pollen will come off of the bloom soon and then I will enjoy this black cone for the rest of the summer. Here's a link to one of the many purveyors of seed packets...

My sweet miniature rose bush is blooming again. This bloom is just shy of an inch across so the photo is actually bigger than the bloom.

Happy bicolor rose... pretty no?
So hope you enjoyed visiting my garden today.

Orange, definitely my favorite...

Here's a few photos that made my day. The Rose Garden at TBG is beautiful. I've met a few photographers that come in every Tuesday and some Thursdays to take photos. Both of them have a spray bottle with water. I took advantage of the "dewy" roses. Some of these are going up on my wall soon.

Graham Thomas...

That's the name of this rose. My favorite in my garden... Yes I did take this one too!
