On my last post I said there would be more pictures to come of my garden. So here you goooooooo.
Here is one of my many bird baths in the garden, they love to take a bath, especially the wrens.
As you can see the iris beside of the bird bath, I wanted you to see the beautiful color. I think the birds splash water from their bath and that helps the iris grown.
This is a different part of my garden and I have not shown these roses yet. I now have the time to devote to them since I am retired. Don't you love the colors, they blend so well together.
If you look closely you cans see the little cherubs peaking through my daisy bush. This was a 6 pack and now look at it. I used Amend (name of the product) to enrich my soil.
Don't you just love this little cute bird bath with the bunny looking in and Mr Fog sitting there. It was a gift from my friend Phyllis (aroundrhouse) for my Birthday a few years ago.
This is a view of my garden so you can see all of my roses and flowers in that portion of my garden.
This is Senior Froggie and I purchased him in Mexico. I used to take clients down there shopping when I was in the corporate world, but no shopping there anymore.
This is another one of my favorite babies - Cherry Delight, isn't she so pretty.
This is a favorite gathering spot in my yard. You can sit by the fire, smell the roses, hear the water fountain
and just relax with a glass of wine.
This is one of my most favorite roses - French Lace . I have had it about 15 years and it smells divine.
This is my Tropicana rose. It has so many blooms and I love the bright orange color.. Those darn Flamingo have specked at my grass LOL
Thank you for stopping by, I always enjoy your visits. Please leave a comment as I love to read them. If you are not a follower won't you please follow me as I have a new project I will be showing soon. I don't want you to miss it.
Your roses are beautiful and I so enjoy seeing all the pictures...I do love the way they tell a story of all the work you have put into them and all the care they have received over the years...contrats on your post...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phyl, I love your back yard also with all your beautiful flowers.

Mary,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is delightful. I enjoyed browsing through all your pictures. Your rose bushes would make me smile passing by them every day. I love all the bird baths, and froggy is sweet. When we move to our final home, I would love a garden just like this. It is peaceful and lovely.
Have a nice Wednesday.
Love,
~Sheri
Thanks you so much Sheri. I wished I lived closer I would come over and help you with your garden. When are you moving and where?
DeleteMary
I love your birdbath with the bunny peeking in. Your garden is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJudy
thanks so much Judy. I love just sitting out there and taking in all the lovely flowers.
DeleteHave a great Wednesday.
Mary
Your garden is such a magical place, such beauty. fondly ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynne. It is a magical for me and I love being in my garden.

Mary- Your gardens are just beautiful! I can tell that you have poured a lot of work and love into them....they are lush and beautiful. I like your bird baths and the pretty pieces you have scattered throughout. Beautiful! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind comments. Its so nice to have the time to play in the garden. Every morning Waldo and Lili wait by the patio door to go out with me to the garden. Most mornings I sit and have coffee and take in all the hummingbirds, butterflies and wrens having their breakfast. So peaceful and what a wonderful way to start the day.
DeleteSo glad your back.
XXOO
Mary
Wow! You have so many flowers there! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind comments. Your garden is also very pretty with lots of flowers.
DeleteHave a wonderful week.
Mary
A lovely garden tour, thank you. I use an amendment in my soil too, it is called "chicken doo". :) I shovel a lot of it, I have 17 hens. That reminds me, the pen needs shoveling this week. I even enjoy it as I see it as black 'gold' for my garden.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could have chickens here in Fullerton. I believe we can have only three. Your right chicken doo is also wonderful for our flowers and gardens.
DeleteThank you so much for your comments - glad you liked my garden.
Have a great week.
Mary
Hi Mary, Your garden is gorgeous. I love your flowers and the roses are stunning. Such darling garden art make it so special along with the birdbath. Love your sitting area. What an inviting spot to relax and enjoy a summer evening. Thank you for the tour. It is inspiring to see. You have worked hard and it shows.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Celestina Marie
Your garden is lovely! I'm here via Bargain Hunting with Laurie.
ReplyDeleteI host a weekly party called Seasonal Sundays. I'd love to have you link.

I would love to link up with Seasonal Sundays. Thanks for the kind comments on my garden. I do follow you and Laurie.

What a lovely garden! I could sure use your help. I moved into a new house last year and have nothing at all in the garden. I came from a house with an established perennial garden and loads of English roses. I'm trying to propagate the roses, so hopefully something positive will come from my efforts.
ReplyDeleteI would love to help you - where do you live at? I have been working on my garden for about 25 years. There was nothing in the yard but grass when I moved in. When I was in the corporate world I traveled so much with my job that I left everything up to my gardeners. They did a good job but not like a home owner. I love perennial gardens as they come back year after year. I only purchase just a few annuals for fill in.
DeleteGood luck with your garden. Many thanks for your kind comments.
Mary
I'm in the St. Louis metro area. How soon can you get here? ;-)
DeleteHi Mary! Oh, I'm so sorry you lost your mother at such a young age. I know it has to be hard at any time, but you being so young had to be really sad. I do cherish my little mother and am very thankful to still have her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Your very welcome Shelia. Hope you liked more of my garden. That seems like all I do is work in the garden until I can hardly walk LOL.
DeleteHave a restful weekend after all the moving you did.
xxoo
Mary
Thank you so much for the tour of your lovely garden. I too have some garden pieces from Mexico - a sun, a frog and a huge cement fish - all purchased in Rosarito Beach. We used to drive down and rent a house there several times a year, but haven't gone in years because it is not as safe.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty place you have created there... love all your birdbaths. I can never have too many of them ;) And oh I see some tropical plants there. Where's your garden? I dream with living in FL one day... warm warm... no more winter. But then again, would I be able to cultivate roses in FL? Dunno! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing me here Mary
Good day
Cielo
Hi Mary, your lovely garden puts mine to shame, and I envy that you know all your roses names. I usually plant something and throw away the tag and then can't remember what it is called. I'm going to look for the Amend for my soil, I think it may be just the ticket. Everything looks so pretty..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary! What a beautiful garden! I love the look of that sweet little daisy bush. The blooms are so pretty. I wish I was more of a gardener but I'm not. My Mom has a gorgeous garden full of all sorts of beauties I hope to share soon. Thanks for sharing your's with us. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMary, this is beautiful! So many gorgeous flowers and fun touches. I'd love to sit and just relax in this beautiful place, but I'd probably be up, running around looking at frogs, rabbits, and birth baths, and smelling flowers. What a delightful space. laurie
ReplyDeleteOf course, that should have said bird baths. I really didn't see any "birth" baths in your garden!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful garden. Those roses are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! I just love your garden! Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh my goodness you have the most extraordinary gardens, Mary - WOW! You really can grow roses - now I know who my go-to person is as aI am very new to rose care! Miner are small and hardly produce anything.
ReplyDeleteJust breathtaking, thanks so much for sharing and for visiting me so I can find you.
A perfectly lovely garden! I enjoyed my visit very much! Roses...OH how I love roses!
ReplyDeleteAll flowers are lovely, but there is just something about the rose...with it's layers..and layers of lovliness!

ReplyDeleteWOW...what a beautiful garden....and so BIG. What a delight. I love your birdbaths...
ReplyDeletemy mother ALWAYS had Iris planted around her yard....so, of course, when I saw yours, I thought of my mama.
You've done such a nice job on your beautiful garden.
Hey Mary..
ReplyDeletethank you for following me..I am now following you...your garden is beautiful..the irises, the roses, love the birdbaths...i surely can see the love in your garden...
Love, Mona
I can't believe you have that many hummingbirds around your home, Mary!! I heard the feeders really make them come around. I think I will get one soon. If you see any hummingbirds and have your camera at hand, please take a picture of them. They are so beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet day.
Love,

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful glimpse into your fabulous garden. I really need to blow the dust off of my birdbath and put it in place. I loved looking at all of yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

ReplyDeleteYour garden is busting out with color and energy, and I like that you have many bird baths for our feathered friends. The first photo shows a very inviting place to sit.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is stunning. So many spectacular things in bloom at once.

Wowzers, Mary! Your garden is just spectacular...you truly have a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteI'm head over heels with your rose bush, Cherry Delight...it is, well...DELIGHTFUL! LOL
I've never heard of Amend but I shall look for it. We have hard clay in some areas so I know it would help.
You can buy it at Home Depot or get Chicken manure but be careful of that because it can burn your plants. God luck. I haven't did a post on my front yard yet - that's next.
DeleteThanks again.
Mary
Your garden is gorgeous! I so love the fireplace area--would love to join you for a glass of wine :) Really enjoyed your post :)

DeleteMary
Mary, your garden is beautiful! I would just stay out there all day!
ReplyDeleteI generally stay out there until noon and then it gets to hot for me. I am working on a new area that I used to have compost bins in. They got to big for me and I couldn't turn them - but the compost is like gold and the plants are going nuts.
DeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Your gardens are beautiful! I love the Tropicana rose. I have been wanting to plant an old fashioned rose garden here at Still Woods Farmhouse, but have yet to accomplish that goal. One of the roses I must have is the Tropicana.
