Breath of life rose bud and rain drops

Breath of Life rose bud

Rain drops and Rose buds. Two of my favorite things.

My roses have finally stopped blooming what with all the snow and freezing temperatures that we’ve been having here in Toronto. It’s about time … but I’ll miss them over the next few months.

Sometime this week I’ll have to take my camera outside and take some photos of frosty plants. Even though the plants are wilting due to the cold they can still look pretty neat when covered with snow, frost or ice.

Yes I know this Wordless Wednesday post is late, again! I got mixed up as to what day it was – again. I’m so tired lately thanks to our new puppy and my Crohns. sigh …






Day lilies in the garden

Next Spring I think I’ll look for more day lilies. They make a lovely display in the garden, especially ones that bloom more than once each year!

If my memory serves me correctly the ones I’ve pictured above are called Candy Stripe and yes, they rebloom about four times each season. I grow them in the boulevard in front of my house.

Tiger Lily close up

This is an orangey red tiger lily that grows each year in my garden.

I love looking out my kitchen window in the morning and seeing their fiery color in the bright sun. They really are quite pretty when grown in large clumps.

Just don’t bend down to try to smell a lily.

That colored pollen stains and if you get it on your face, arm or shirt it will take a while to get off. I believe it’s just about impossible to get off clothes!
