The V garden bed

by Tricia

I’ve often referred to this small garden bed as “the V“. It’s located at the end of my driveway, and in truth I only own half of this small V shaped flower bed although all of the plants located within “the V” are mine.

At the back of the V you can see tiger lilies growing. On the front left you can see Globe Flowers which I’m sorry to say have finished blooming. They might produce another set of blooms for me in August if I get out there now and cut them down a bit.

In the middle there’s a Valencia rose that got hit hard this winter because I didn’t protect it. It’s still alive and has grown quite a bit since I took this photo.

To the right of the globe flowers there’s a cream colored Day lily, and right beside that is the beginning of our arched trellis that has the Breath of Life climbing rose and a lovely clematis growing on it on the V garden bed side, and a Harlequin Honeysuckle on the other side.

I just realized that you can also see some dwindling daffodils in this photo too. There’s about 10 daffodil bulbs planted in this flower bed.

So that’s “the V”. Now you’ll have an idea of what I’m talking about when I discuss my many garden beds. This one competes with another tiny flower bed at the side of my house for smallest flower bed.

Rose growth

by Tricia

I love the look of roses when they are growing and developing new leaves. The bright red edges of the new leaves as they unfurl is so pretty.

The rose that I’ve pictured above is called Breath of Life and it’s a climbing rose. This rose is attached to the archway/ trellis that is at the entrance to my backyard.

The bud that you see to the right just behind the new red tinged leaves is a clematis bud. The clematis is called clematis hybrid Seiboldiana, and it’s in full bloom right now. It’s flowers are at least three inches in diameter and are a blue/purple in color. Yes, photos of this clematis will be posted shortly.

A Breath of Life

I’ve probably posted many pictures of this lovely rose before, but I can’t help it. It’s just such a beautiful rose.

I have this hybrid climbing tea rose planted at the end of our driveway. It’s right beside the small white picket fence and gate that leads into our backyard, and it rests on an arbour that is also in the entry way to the backyard. It’s perfect in this area.

I like the name of the rose too – Breath of Life. With it’s name and the fact that it’s at the entrance to my garden- my de-stressing place – it just seems perfect.

If you’ve recently asked to join the Green Thumb Sunday meme and I’ve sent you the blogroll code and instructions on how to put it on your site, but you find that you still aren’t on the list, please let me know.

Several people each week express and interest in joining our growing meme, but not everyone puts the blogroll on their site (a key factor to getting on the blogroll), or lets me know when they do have the blogroll on their site. Please leave a comment here if you have the blogroll on your site and I’ll make sure that you are listed on the blogroll ASAP.

Thanks!
