Garden diaries - Rose

A rose is the centerpiece in any garden!

This beauty came to our home just as a cutting without any leaves in early May.  Quickly leaves appeared all over in the next few weeks and two buds made their appearance in early June.  Since then there have been no flowers.  Guess we have to wait another year for the next set of flowers.

Garden diaries - Sunflower

 These pictures were taken over four days and you can see that the last picture has the fully blossomed flower. 


Our first sunflower bloomed in mid June.  All others follow in succession. 


This beauty opened late June.
