Two years since we moved into this house-on-a-half-acre-bulldozed-lot and look what’s blooming….
Prairie Joy – I’m really impressed with this rose bush. Planted it last summer and it has at least doubled in size, despite the high winds (sometimes 100km/h) on the front lawn and the dogs trampling it. Really, really hardy creature. Would make a great hedge.

Peace is doing well. Also planted last summer and is bursting with buds. Planted in a more sheltered location than Prairie Joy.



Unknown lilies. At least, they’re unknown now. I *did* know what they were last year, when I planted them. Must look them up at some point.
The Tiger Lilies are budding. Hopefully they’ll look as good as the buds promise!

That’s it for stupendous stuff out front. The daylilies are just starting out back and the foxglove is finishing up.


Wow–the colours in your photos are so lovely and rich. Really beautiful!
wow! is that a multicoloured rose that is covered in raindrops!?! it is stunning. i’m so impressed. there is a great flickr site that i belong to, unpretentious garden. i’ll send you the address. these are great shots, with the water suspending from the tips of the lily buds… sumptious!
