Awww Monday! May 11, 2020

A Springy Tour of Our Garden!

 

 Our iris from Monet's garden in Giverny, France
They have moved with us 3 times! 
From Lake Oswego OR to Weed CA to Vancouver WA!
And still willingly bloom each year! 

 

We have two pink rose bushes that were here
when we moved in. They are lovely, fragrant
and consistently bloom from Spring til late Fall.

 

Allium. First time I have tried planting them.
Love the color and how they attract pollinators.



Columbine with Bumblebee!


 

Peonies midst Bracken ferns.



 And last but certainly not least...
our recycled metal dog sculpture.
Recently purchased from Attic Gallery.
A local art gallery in Camas Washington.
Have a great week and stay happy and healthy! 
Thanks Sandee!

    That metal dog is really neat! Your flowers look wonderful. Mom killed our roses. They are just too much work for someone who isn't into gardening, but we have plenty of other plants around. Roses are great if they are taken care of correctly.

    What a beautiful garden, one to rival Monet's if I may say. I love that sculpture, you have a good eye.

    Kathe,

    A burst of blooming colors for Mother's Day - gorgeous! The rose is simply beautiful. Pink roses are so pretty. I had some miniature rose bushes over the years but have since gone away. It would be nice to plant some new ones. I love their scent. Have a bloomtastic week, my dear!xx
