| Love and Peace Roses |
We go to the beach every year around the first of May... Each year, when we get back home, we are always 'anxious' about what we'll find in our yard... AND---depending upon the year and the weather, every year is different from the previous ones. This year was no exception.
Even when we left FOR the beach, there were lots of Roses already blooming. It was hard to leave the yard---but we 'forced' ourselves.. ha.... BUT---coming home was even more awesome!!! Not only were the Roses blooming, but also lots of the Lilies and even a Daylily were all blooming.
Today I'll share a little of what we found when we got home from the beach on Saturday, May 12. Hope you enjoy seeing more of the beauty in our yard! Be sure and click on the pictures to see them larger. The first two pictures were taken on May 3 --before we left on our trip. All of the rest of the pictures were taken on May 12 when we returned.
This picture was taken from the side, looking across the driveway at two of our Rose beds. Can you imagine how hard it was for us to leave all of this beauty???? Luckily though, it was still there for us when we got home!
This is what met us when we drove into the yard that day. These gorgeous lilies are named Montenegro and the roses in the background are named Veteran's Honor.
Aren't these lilies pretty? They bloomed for us ---when we came home on the 12th. They are appropriately named Lollypop.
This picture was taken of one of our round flowerbeds in front. This one is the middle bed --and it's full of lilies and pansies... The names of the lilies in this picture are Juanita.
We even have one set of daylilies blooming already. This one is named Wild Horses.
This bed (near the front road) is full of color now... The irises are mostly bloomed out ---but the roses and lilies are really showing off. All of those red roses (Veteran's Honor) are on ONE bush--believe it or not!!!!! The roses on the right are named Double Delight, and the yellow roses are named Welcome Home.
Finally, here is one of my all-time favorite roses, named Peppermint Splash. This one had not bloomed until we returned from our trip. Isn't it beautiful?
Hope you enjoyed seeing our flowers today!!!!! AND--I also hope that you have a fabulous day!!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
