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.

Clematis Hybrid Seiboldiana flower

You know summer is here when the clematis and roses begin to bloom and oh what lovely blooms they are!

The photo above is of one of my favorite Clematis flowers. It’s a hybrid Seiboldiana Clematis and it produces large blue flowers several times each year. Absolutely gorgeous, isn’t it?

Double Daffodils

Yes you are seeing double. I planted my Daffodils close together and when they bloom the flowers are all in clusters of two or three or more. It’s lovely.Â The petals are so thin you can almost see through them. Beautiful and delicate.
