Sunshine, finally……

 

After a couple weeks of rain, sunshine looks pretty good!   So, I thought I would take advantage of the moment and take a few photos of our backyard flower beds.  Our backyard isn’t very large, it is about 40 feet deep and 90 feet wide and borders a city park.

This space is between our house and the neighbors.  The dark burgundy shrub/tree is an Elderberry, the bright green plant is oregano and the tall pink flowers are foxglove.  The tall grass on the left is a grass called Karl Forrester.

This large, heritage rose is called Sally Holmes and is covered with huge clusters of single white blooms.

 

 

My funky gate has been painted many time and many colors.  Now, it sits in a flower bed surrounded by Hostas, hardy geraniums, foxglove and ferns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beautiful rose is called “Westerland”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rose arbor is coved by the yellow Abraham Darby rose and the pink is Compassion….in the background is the orange rose, Westerland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a peony aptly named “Bowl of Beauty”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

More happiness…….the birdbath sits in the middle of blue Campanula, a mini-rose and dianthus, some more foxglove, ferns and geranium.  Yes, there is even room for a little patch of lawn, too!!!
