The V garden bed

by Tricia

DSC02046

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.

Antique’89 Rose

This weeks Theme is Antique

This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?

This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.

If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.
