Lovely blue Salvia in bloom

I have quite a mix of flowers in my garden. The plants holding the majority are of course Roses, but even if it doesn’t seem like it at times I do grow other plants. Two of my favorite perennial plants are Lavender and Salvia. Both have lovely deep blue to purple blooms and of course, the Lavender has a beautiful scent.

The photo above is of my perennial Salvia in bloom. It blooms maybe three times each year and I love seeing those tiny little flowers. The blue purple color of their blooms look lovely near green hosta leaves and my roses (mainly pink).

Do you have a garden? What are your favorite plants?

Lovely Clematis Flower

Isn’t this pink Clematis flower lovely? I grow several different Clematis vines, but this one is one of the largest vines! It’s located at the front of my house – well front corner, and it grows on a trellis. It’s perhaps 14 feet in height and two weeks ago when it was covered in pink blooms it was an amazing sight.

The flowers are pretty much gone now, especially after the heavy rains we’ve had this weekend, so I’m happy that I captured this beauty when I did.

Do you grow Clematis vines too?

Nothing prettier than an Antique Rose

This has been a funny summer here in Toronto. It’s cooler than normal so my plants are growing slower and blooming less frequently.

Still … when you have gems like this beautiful “Prince Napoleon Climbing Rose” you can put up with a colder than normal summer.

Fact … They say that this is the coldest summer we’ve had in Toronto in almost 20 years! I guess I should be happy that some of my plants are still blooming! It’s a big change from our extremely hot and humid summers that we normally have here in Toronto though!

Yellow rose petals

I don’t have many yellow roses in my garden, but the few that I do have are absolutely gorgeous. Like this Graham Thomas English rose. Look at those beautiful, perfect, yellow petals.

I swear I could spend all day looking at lovely roses or pictures of roses like this one. Perfection in nature.
