How does your garden grow?

In spite of my complaining about all the rain we have had this spring....the garden really grew!

How does your garden grow.....with Canterbury bells and Mock Orange and Foxglove and some orange Peruvian Lilies thrown in, ooopps, I see lavender and a tiny pink rose poking it's head out, too.

Miniature rose, Hoot Owl, with her black spot showing....I said we've had a lot of rain this spring!

One very large, flouncy white rose who's name is Sally Holmes.  Sally did not get pruned back this spring.....so she has grown to about twelve feet tall and is surrounded by her friends....Coral bells, Daylily and Foxglove.  Since, Foxglove reseed freely and I love 'em....they are everywhere in our yard.

Peony "Bowl of Beauty" in foreground with some orange Wallflowers and in the background.....this gorgeous rose.......

her name is "Westerland".  It holds this incredible color from bud to fade with a heavenly fragrance, to boot!  This rose will get large, too, I'm going to try to train it into a climber.

Mother Nature never met a color she didn't like and she allows them all to live together in perfect harmony.

  Canterbury Bells run a little crazy in my yard, too, here they surround a pink rose that I don't know the name of, bought it years ago before that sort of thing was important to me.  This is a large growing English Rose that I pruned waaaaaaaaaay back this year!  It is rejuvenating itself nicely, thank you!

The peonies are pretty much gone, the Foxglove and Canterbury Bells are on their last leg but there are Oriental Lily, fuchsia, Clematis and more waiting in the wings.
