The crazy weather must have the plants really confused as temperatures have swung from the high 80s to the 50s in the past 2 days.  Still, there is growth and flowering.  Below are some sights as I walked around the gardens.

Blue daze among the roses.  There are only about half the flowers now.

The new Peace rose has a bunch of flowers; the bare stalk in the middle is where I cut a group to bring in the house.









The dark pink hollyhock has grown a new stalk, also flowering.

The Mandeville has 2 healthy long vines and the flowers proliferate.

The Don Juan roses have tripled this year and are finally climbing up the trellis.

The leaves on the maple tree are growing to size.  I hope the "trunk" grows as well and as fast. 

These Don Juan roses are what I would hope to see all over the trellis.  I've been heavy on the liquid fertilizer for 2 months -- I'll keep it coming.







That's all for today.   Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.
