Such a lovely shade of blue …
… and a lovely later summer addition to our gardens and fields.
Happy Tuesday.
Rosy Roses
One of things I love about summer is seeing all the various types of roses, blooming away in splendid profusion. There are so many, many of them, from the elegant to the plain, and all of them very lovely in their own way.
Aren’t they great? I hope your weekend is rosy.

They looked like giant snowballs or ice cream scoops.
Each blossom contains a multitude of small, three-petaled florets which form flowers-within-a-flower.
Happy Monday.

In the Garden
I love how this rose has a delicate pink tinge, just barely visible.
It’s not a perfect specimen as some of the petals have a bit of damage, but that only proves that beauty is not necessarily perfection nor vice versa.
One of the things I love about the natural world is its lack of judgement. You just are what you are.
Happy Tuesday.
Summer Hibiscus
The hibiscus flowers have recently been blooming in great profusion.
Hibiscus “plants” are actually considered to be woody shrubs or small trees; they can grow to three metres (10 feet) or more.
They come in a variety of colours and are also known as “rose mallow” and “rose of Sharon.”
Whatever they’re called, they are beautifully showy and frilly additions to a garden, especially if you are looking for something that will grow to quite a height and perhaps also provide some privacy as well as lovely flowers.
Happy Monday.
