I have to Confess...

My husband is the gardner in our family.

All the gorgeous flowers in our yard are my husband's work. I have a black thumb. I can kill a plant almost as fast as I can plant it.

So my contribution to our flowers is helping to pick them out, and taking pictures of them. They are all so pretty, I just can't stop taking pictures. I went out to take a few Sunday and took 33!


This is one of our new roses we planted last year. It is beautiful and has a great smell. It is called Honey Perfume, I think a very fitting name for it.

Is the rose a Jackson and Perkins? It's beautiful. It reminds me a little of the peace roses that Grandpa Shaw had in his front yard on Chestnut St. in Medford.

It is a Jackson and Perkins rose, it is a lot more apricot orangey colored than a Peace rose. We planted one of those this year, but it is not blooming yet.

Wow, breathtaking! I hear ya on the black thumb. The girls brought me home a potted flower from church on Mother's DAy and my hubby's response was "Let's see how long it takes Momma to kill it!"
