    Not much happening in the yard this late in the fall. I did manage to snap a few pictures of this old rose bush Mom & Dad gave us. I have no idea what the name is but I absolutely love it!

    Bought a bag of these lily bulbs from WalMart this spring. 10 bulbs for $10 These are the only blooms I got :-? I love them, just wish there were more

    And last but not least, the autumn crocus. I absolutely love these things because they remind me of my grandma. She had a huge batch of them in her yard. I'd love to have a bunch more but they are hard to find :(

    All three types of flowers are really lovely but I have to admit that your rose is to die for. :-D

    Lovely rose. :D And that lily is really pretty. Is it as peachy in colour as it looks? Does it have a scent?

    I'm partial to the Colchicums too, and they're hard to come by here as well. I've been lucky. I've got the single pinkypurple ones, and doubles too. The same in white. Wish I could share them but the bulbs would probably be dried out before you got them through customs. :(

    I love your Rose! What a gorgeous color.
    The Roses around here are really putting on a great Autumn show after sitting through the summer heat.
    I was treated to seeing some lovely autumn Crocus in a customer's yard last week. very pretty!

    Thanks everyone! :-D Yes, that lily is very orangey or peachy and smells Heavenly :-o I wish I lived closer Droopy I'd trade you for some crocus bulbs :p
    Wonder why the bulbs aren't popular?? Too old fashioned maybe? :shrug:
