june is the best month in the gardens or perhaps i just really LOVE peonies and english roses!
June... and even the end of May mean some of the most beautiful flowers of my gardens here at Red Gate Farm... although this year the backdrop has mostly been dirt due to the new lawn project still in the works, the flowers still are beautiful.
Blooms of various colors and sizes.
Some blooming for the first time ever like these three.
Pretty in the morning light.
I think this my Sarah Bernhardt..
The iris' that were replanted along the retaining wall last year did well. Tall yellow.
And smaller purple.
Lupines, love lupines. What a happy looking flower.
My clematis gets better and better every year. I think I'm supposed to prune it but it does so well I hesitate.
It was really covered in blooms.
This one is Winchester Cathedral.
And Bolero's buds even look good with a dirt background!
I think I like the Queen of Sweden best.
Although it there was a Queen of Norway I'm sure it would be my favorite.
I definitely like the English roses with the high petal counts the best.
So hopefully I can catch up on a bit of blog posting but it's hard to compete with spending time with Miss Bee!

What a sweet baby! That is an adorable crown she has on!!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers all look wonderful. I wonder if the one peony is Sherbet. Something like that. The English roses are beautiful.
My peonies usually start to open for Mother's day but they were late this year. Frost got some of them so not all opened. The odd thing is that the ones to open for the first time this year didn't get nipped. That was a great bonus!
My Clematis is still skimpy. It must not like where it is planted. I keep hoping that it looks as nice as your's is looking but disappointed again this year.
Have a great week.
Miss Bess is more gorgeous than any flower in the garden. The peonies are a close second! What is the secret, mine have never produced flowers. Just lots of leaves. hmmm.
ReplyDeletePeonies and roses can only be outdone by a beautiful baby! What a sweetie - you are blessed!
ReplyDeleteoh, how I've missed you! love seeing your gardens and what? a new gorgeous baby??? lucky you! Thank you so much for linking up to this weeks Garden Party over here at Fishtail Cottage's! oxox
ReplyDeleteMiss Bee is so beautiful and her crown is adorable too. Your Queen of Sweden rose is pretty spectacular. I planted two Queen of Sweden roses last year and then I had to transplant them this Spring. Now my rose blooms seem to be quite a bit smaller than your blooms. Yours are just perfect - great work!
ReplyDeleteThough I am loving you GORGEOUS flowers, Miss Bee is the prettiest rose bud of all. I so wish we could grow such lovely flowers here in California. It is just so hot and they fry.
ReplyDeleteWell I was just loving the flowers until I saw the baby! Yup, she's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHappy to feature you at the Garden Party this morning! Hope you come back and share again this month!
