I love your roses! Sally Holmes sounds like quite the performer. And your pretty clematis – I have many buds on mine but no flowers yet – some of the buds were frozen to death when the temp dropped to 26 degrees a couple of weeks ago, so sad. But I think all 7 will bloom this year, some for the first time. Yeah!

Oh so pretty! My roses are resting after an initial bloom, and with so much shade my garden is pretty non-floriferous anyway. It’s good to get a flowery fix here.

Well, I’m shamelessly lusting after ‘Ebb Tide’…looks like purple sherbet and good enough to eat! Your Nellie Moser clemie has a twin sister on my arbor;-)

Rebecca! I can’t believe you have that euphorbia! Mine is now gone and it never left seedlings. I never see it around So.Calif. either. I’ve been nursing a cutting for almost a year, still not rooted.

Back to your bloom day post..wow, it’s all gorgeous. I was going to put in the mutabilis tobacco for late summer, but seeing yours at 8 feet makes me think I missed an opportunity.

Okay, now I have to have a Sally Holmes rose. Thank you for the ‘awe’ moment. Love the sedums with all that color!

Everything is so pretty and colorful. I love your roses, especially the fourth of july. I have never seen that one. I love nicotiana. It always does well in my garden. Thanks for the tour. Hope you enjoy the restof your weekend.

Happy Bloom Day! May is such a wonderful month for bloom day full of beauties. I love reading your blog because you grow such different plants from mine in Oklahoma. Still, I see you love roses too. What would we do without roses? Once again, you grow very different ones, and that’s so much fun. I love blogging for this very reason, and bloom day is one of my favorite times to visit my friends.~~Dee

Cineraria, nicotiana & Joey bed is awesome! I also love, love, love Ebb Tide. My bitty succulents are sending out flowers as well. I love combining the textures and colors and letting them go wild.

Thank you for sharing.

Wow! I don’t even remember roses from your garden, which looked perfect, lush, and floriferous without them. But the must have been there, overlooked while still in bud.

Stunning photos! thanks for sharing
