The rain makes everything beautiful.
The artichokes are just starting to produce.
The leaves look like birds with their wings open.
Can't wait to have fresh
artichokes from the garden.
We have a lot of roses in beautiful colors.
The rain was just what the garden needed.
I love how open the Sally Holmes flowers are.
The Cecile Brunner has gorgeous clusters of pink.
New buds are just as beautiful.
Our latest photos of the baby hummingbirds!
So cute...
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed your gardens.
Those are some gorgeous roses my friend... love ya

What a gorgeous view you have given us of your garden...the roses are so spectacular, and I love the contrast of the green artichokes!! Love this time of year, when we bloggers get to view such beauty by the flick of a finger! Here in Ontario we are still at the bud and leaf stage, so this is so great to see! Thank you, N.xo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the photos. I bet Ontario is beautiful too! Thanks for your comment.

I like the way you capture the beauty and freshness that spring rain brings out in the plants ...something we often overlook . Thank you for your nice comment on my post today .

OMG Jody!!! This post of your roses in the rain is gorgeous. Your photos are just amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading here for a few posts that I have missed, and have to tell you how beautiful your gardens are. And the post about your mom was so lovely. What a beautiful woman she is. It is so difficult to lose a mom or to know that soon you will lose them. My mom is 83 this year and I cherish the minutes I have with her.
Thank you for your lovely blog!
hugs from here...
These are some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. What a wonderful treat!

Your roses are some of the best I have seen. I love them with the raindrops that have collected between the petals. Without rain, no roses..I hope to succeed with my roses this year. The beetles devour them. I hope the soap and water will work. Too sad to see them eaten to bits. How lucky to have the Humming bird babies in your sight. I love these small beautiful creatures..Very nice post. Happy May Day...
