~ To Bud or To Bloom ~



Royal Gold is one of our many new roses.
Her bud is tight & so delicate ...












and then she throws open her petals into
an exquisite profusion of beauty ...












As I mentioned before, we laid 14 cu. yards of mulch ... it took Harold & I, 2 days to do this. On the 3rd day I started planting.

I told you recently that I knew there were between 700 & 800 new beauties going in
the ground ... after an issue arose to the
exact amount I had planted, I went out &
hand counted all my 'little beauties' ... I
planted 1,065! Yup! & now can hardly
wait to see how this all turns out.



This is our climbing rose, of COURSE she's
PINK & a beauty.












I will capture better pictures of this awesome Iris.
It is speckled with white & a powerful beauty.

















Gene Boerner has joined us, such a delicate PINK.





















Another new Iris, so full of colors & charm.













Two plants growing together, have no idea what they are but they look great!
















One of our many, many rhodies ...














A pretty cluster ...
















Our bleeding hearts, azalea & yellow azalea tree ...












At one time this rhodie had the shape of a skunk ...












I so love this rhodie & her rich ruby red
buds ... see her open below, it won't
allow me to move the pics ...












This rhodie & azalea have entertwined ...












creating this awesome spring profusion of colors.
The rhodie is the palest of soft yellow with a lemony throat ...














An azalea ...













this elegant rhodie blossom opens ...
she is the one up above that I couldn't
move the picture of ...









The softest pinkish lavender rhodie ...

Hope you enjoyed this peaceful walk.
Have a beautiful day ~
