Very nice indeed. I just came in from my garden, and I will try to post a couple of mine.

I am holding my breath, Dahlitsa. That rose is going to be spectacular. Such a dainty shade of pink so far. Is it going to be red or pink when in full bloom?

Also, what flower is that in the last two pictures. Such a pretty colour.

Wow. Climbing roses. One of my not so secret desires.

-- Zone 4a or 4b... depending on where you are standing!

Beautiful.Just beautiful Dahlitsa.Very nice combinations you got there.

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

It’s interesting that you mentioned that Iris as I was shocked the other day when the first roses came out were dark pink nearly red but in the past two years they have been very definetely red then when the others started to show they were a light pink but as the days go by they are darkening up. I really dont know anything about roses but I’m still in shock. I was expecting all red roses.

The rose bushes were at the back of the house when we came here and had not bloomed maybe for years and likely due to lack of sun so I decided to give them a new home. Maybe there were two different kinds and one of them took two years to decide to take off. ?

Iris: I forgot to mention that the flower at the bottom is called Armeria. I just bought it this spring and it just keeps blooming and blooming and it looks so nice against the light green leaves of my blue Mist

That sounds altogether possible, Dahlitsa. Two different roses would explain why it is now producing two colours. The armeria is very pretty against the background. I have not seen this plant before. Is it a perennial?

Yes it is a perennial.
