A few photos from the family home over the weekend.
There's a poor little rose bush that was being taking over by the day lilies and Crocosmia Lucifer... so last weekend I cut & dug alot of it way from it... and this weekend it had it's first bloom.

And here's the second hanging basket combo I got from the mark down rack. It's beginning to fill out nicely.

I really like the colors in the petunia. Very different.

Lovely colour! Your petunias are really special. I don't like petunias much, but I do like those! My, I might have to get some petunias this year.

What a beautiful rose. Mine are only just showing signs of new leaf growth so it's lovely to be able to share yours.
Those petunias are very unusual - I've never seen that colour before. I don't grow them here as they don't do well with our weather conditions. If I did I think I'd pick some the same colours as your ones.

Your rose looks like an antique rose -- I like those open faced blossoms. Isn't it amazing how they will respond to a little TLC?

Your petunias are quite...well...let's just say that I keep finding myself not being able to take my eyes off them.

The Petunias are gorgeous, I only find the darker colors around here. That color would be pretty mixed in with dark purple ones I have....hmmmm, I have been wanting to make the rounds of two or three garden centers might be time to do that.

When I got the hanging baskets at the mark down rack, the petunia's weren't open... so I had no idea of what they would look like. Imagine my surprise I got something so different!
