I also saw the most stunning hummingbird today, but I had just set the camera down and couldn't grab it to try taking a photo! Oh I wish I could have gotten him, he had maroon on the top of his head and a purple stripe along his throat! Just beautiful!
Here is Madie in the garden! The Viola's and Alyssum we planted are doing great!
The blooms on Climbing Peace rose haven't done too well because of the freeze. But other flowers have been doing great and were protected well enough.
We love sitting out here and just enjoying the garden!
Hummingbirds have already started visiting!
We spotted this Fuchsia at Lowe's and just had to buy it! We had one last year and the hummingbirds loved it!
Here's the front garden as of late. The freeze we had really hindered things even though we tried to protect stuff. All the first blooms have been disappointing! Kind of discouraging but hopefully the garden will start to flourish now.
This lovely large clematis is in our back container garden just opened up the other day!
We bought this English Rose the other day, we just couldn't resist! The beautiful pink color so soft and a strong 'old rose' fragrance! It's such a romantic rose! It's one of the Jackson & Perkins David Austin English Roses. We don't have any more room for roses so we planted it in a pot in the back garden, which is nice because we can just sit and enjoy it in private.
These are out in the front growing together a red climbing rose and a clematis.
Here's a little dwarf sunflower blooming out front.
Gerard took this photo of the our first Clematis bloom this season! I love it it's so pretty! I love the shading of the petals! AND I spotted rose buds breaking open to bloom! YEAY!
Here's a weed we have growing and it looks like a wild blackberry to us. What a pretty weed! It's hard to pull them out when they look so pretty, but if we don't the silly thing will cause Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for PULL! (yup I love the Music Man LOL)
