Mixed Up Saturday Flowers

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

It's all about the flowers on todays post, we have so many beautiful flowers in the garden at the moment it fills me with joy, sadly they only last a few days and they are gone for another year, so sharing them on my blog is away of keeping a flower diary that I can look back at on those dad days in winter when nothing is in flower. 

So I will apologise in advance for the amount of photos I am about to share....

Roses

This is more of a wild rose that grows in our front borders, so pretty and has hundreds of buds .

These are some of the roses in the front garden border, they smell like proper old fashioned Roses.

This is the Rose that we planted our Dog (Gemma) ashes in, it was a rememberance rose, I love the beautiful yellow roses.

I was worried that I may have pruned this rose a bit too hard last year, it had gotten so big it had pulled the drain pipe off of its fixings, it was a good 14ft high, so I gave a good haircut, thankfully it has bounced back with an abundance of buds, the roses are really big too. It smells amazing too.

The Peony has recovered after being moved it only has a few buds on it this time, hopefully by next year it will be covered in buds like it was before. It is such a beautiful flower. 

Various plants in pots and borders

Lilies 

My gorgeous Philadelphius

This has to be one of my favourite shrubs in the garden, its scent is beautiful,  thankfully it over powered the rotten fish bush, which has finished flowering  (thank heavens), although the bees loved it.  

Lilian's Garden 

Lilian's beautiful Roses, what a beautiful display, Lilian says that the White one has scent which must be lovely as you walk up the path. You pink rose has so many buds on! Its called Rambling Rector. 

Thank you so much for sharing your flowers with us xxx

I have a couple of photographs from my garden a lot of it is still green but early May I took a picture of my Arum Lily. It originally came from my sisters garden when she lived in Ely Place in London, this year it’s excelled its self, Even though it’s squashed in a small space at the side of the greenhouse
 It had so many blooms on it, this is the photograph

The next picture Just been out and taken a picture of this rose it’s called Golden wedding, and was a gift from a friend on our  Golden wedding. Today or wedding anniversary it’s 61 years where has the time gone !

Brenda your Arum Lily is incredible,  I don't think I've seen one with that many flowers.

Your Golden Anniversary rose is beautiful and looks so healthy.  Our Pearl anniversary rose is just about to burst into life, it's bright pink. I love yellow roses though. 

Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us xxx

Karen's Favourite Spot

Karen's Favourite Spot in her garden is her amazing Sumner House,  I would love to be able to sit in there on a lovely day with a good book.  Thank you for sharing it with us Karen XXX 

As I am writing this post (late Friday afternoon) it is about 34 degrees, I csn only hope that this weather will last the weekend but alas that is not what is forecast.  

The good thing is atleast we have crafting to keep us occupied on the rainy days!! 

I hope that you all have an enjoyable weekend, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
