TYLER ROSE GARDEN

Yesterday I made a trek out to the Tyler Rose Garden with the Rainbow Garden Club of North Texas.  Not only do they have 38,000 rose bushes, but they also have quite a nice display of annuals and perennials.  It was a nice day that inspired me to get back to work in my garden. This first rose is Artistry, the second is Distant Drums, Eglantyne is next, and lastly Gertrude Jekyll.

Cilantro blooms and 'The Fairy' Rose

I passed this pleasing  little display last night in  my garden.  It reminded me of a spring wedding.  Who knew Cilantro, going to seed, could be a stand-in for  Baby's Breath?  I didn't!  In Texas, it's pretty difficult to grow Gypsophila, commonly named Baby's Breath.  I may have to add planting the seeds around all my roses to my future 'to-do' lists!

FORT WORTH BOTANICAL GARDENS pt. 1

Some friends and I visited the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens this past Easter Sunday.  I was able to get a few shots before the rain took over. 

Well I've finally done it.  I've used up all my gigs for Blogspot.  From now on I will be paying to show off!  If it brings joy or inspiration to anyone out there, it's well worth my time and money. 

I have more photos of the Ft Worth Botanical Garden, but will have to show them, after my payment goes through. 

So for now, The blog continues............

Sweet Pea Rose

I love this little rose.  She goes to mauve when the cooler weather arrives.  No wonder, since she is a seedling of the rose named Lavender Pink Parfait.

04/26/11 TUESDAY ENSEMBLE

Cinco de Mayo Rose, Larkspur, and Yarrow

I'm resurrecting my Tuesday Ensemble posts.  As with the others, I will not be adding much more than the names of three or more plants included.  Hope you enjoy!

The Fairy Rose and Clematis

I planted this Clematis with my climbing The Fairy Rose hopeing it would bloom along with the roses.  What I didn't realize is that the blooms on this Clematis are early and the blooms on The Fairy are late.  This is a rare moment when the two are blooming together.  The Fairy has just begun to bloom and there is only this one bloom on the clematis, as all the others have turned into puffs of seeds.    I may end up moving her to my Peggy Martin rose which has a similar bloom to The Fairy but blooms at the same time.  By the way, I can't remember which Clematis this is.

Graham Thomas Rose

I own only one English Rose, so far and his name is Graham Thomas.  I can only describe his blooms as elegant and refined. A true gentleman!
