Flowers






I have been working with our front flower beds quite a bit for the last two years, and this year they are finally looking really beautiful. Last year, I transplanted a lot of flowers, and we really didn't get many blooms. I also put in several rose bushes fall of 2006, and this is the first year that they are really filling out and producing well. I was worried that my vision was going to end up as a lot of dead plants. But I guess it just takes a couple of years for the flowers to establish. When the Iris's are finished blooming the daylillies in front and the daisies behind the iris's will start blooming. We will have to keep a lot of water on the roses for them to be able to endure the hot summer, but they will bloom through October if we do. Anyway, I am very pleased, and isn't it lovely to have spring at last!!
















Here are a lot of our roses.
