Double Delight Roses

Double Delight Roses are a favorites in our household for its perfume and lovely two tone color of white center with red outer petals. So that's why we have a few bushes growing together because they look spectacular en mass in bloom.

Camp David Rose..I think.

This is Camp David Rose..I think. That's because I've moved my roses from one place to another that I may have gotten them mixed up now, especially if they're similar in color or types. Well I'm 90% sure its Camp David because it has that blood red color, lovely sweet fragrance and tall hybrid tea trait.

Bearded Iris Silkirim

Another of my favorite bearded iris would have to be Silkirim. Nice isn't it? Too bad they don't last very long..so enjoy while we can.

Princess Alexandra of Kent Rose

Another rose I bought on the weekend was Princess Alexandra of Kent, a David Austin Rose. It has large flowers of a warm, glowing pink. They are full-petaled and deeply cupped in shape, all enclosed in a ring of outer petals of a softer pink; creating a most pleasing effect. And the fragrance is magnificent!

Blooming marvelous!

Blooming marvelous!  We're having a few hot days so all the icebergs are blooming their heads off. Any hotter and they'll burn.

Harvesting Garlic

Woohoo! I'm harvesting my garlic! These are the first lot of garlic I've ever grown so I'm really excited. I can't remember the date I put them in the ground..probably around March so they should be ready by now. Traditionally you should plant garlic on Australia Day and harvest them on Melbourne Cup Day but I go with my instinct so here they are. I'll keep them in a cool dry place and they should keep for some times.

Burgundy Iceberg

I succumbed to my temptation; I bought another rose bush on the weekend! Its the Burgundy Iceberg I was telling you about. So now I have the whole Iceberg Roses Collection from the white iceberg to blushing pink, brilliant pink and now finally the burgundy pink.
