    So many lovely shades to choose from, what a great variety of roses in your beautiful garden !

    I think I like the salmon shade best.
    Your new header looks wonderful, Lydia.

    Wishing you rosy times,
    Olivia

    Hello Olivia,
    Thank you!
    I love the salmon too! It grows like a topiary tree. It's a very interesting bush.
    The photo of the bloom on the header the peonia from my garden. I'm happy you like it.
    The blooms ar so light and bouncy and large.
    I am waiting for my sorbet peonia to bloom.
    I love taking nature picks. I just came in from planting sunflower seeds. In the front I planted Fuzzy Face and in the back I planted Russian Mammoths. I put those in my veggie garden along with evening suns to attract honey bees.
    Wishing you a great evening!
    Lydia

    Good morning Lydia,
    unfortunately I do not know these names: Fuzzy Face, Russian Mammoth, Evening Sun.
    Do you know their Latin names, or could you show them in pictures ?

    Wishing you a great day,
    Olivia

    Hello Olivia,
    Yes, I'll show them before the weekend! They're very nice sunflowers.
    They are unique!
    Wishing you a very nice day. It's warm here. I am still detoxing.
    Many blessings, lydia

    Three types of different sun flowers ? My dear friend Lydia, your garden is developping into a botanical park. Will you open it for visitors and take an entrance fee ?

    (I am just joking, I know you would never do that.)

    Blessings and cheers,
    Olivia

    Do you remember that song, "I never promised you a rose garden" ?

    It was a big hit over here about 10 to 15 years ago.

    The lines should be changed for you:
    Yes, I did promise you a rose garden ...

    And now you have got it. Bravo !

    Blessings and cheers,
    Olivia

    Hello Olivia,
    Thank you!
    My roses are exploding with blooms and colors right now. All around my yard I have 14 rose bushes in all!
    I do remember that song. It's very very nice song too.
    I love my big cabbage roses that should be in bloom anyday now.
    Wishing you a great day!
    Lydia
