Pink Knockout rose and pink Smooth Touch rose.  This rose has no thorns and I am looking forward to seeing how it grows. 

New Lily I just got.  Such a beautiful one. 

Love the way the lily changes to a lighter color after a few days. 

Shasda Daisy 

So many blooms this year.  Endless Summer hydrangea 

Endless Summer hydrangea looks like the color is going to be lavender this year.  We will have to wait to see. 

Lavender is looking really good this year. 

Zephirine Drouhin is a 12 to 15 foot climber with large, double,fragrant dark-pink to cerise flowers.  It's famed for being thornless.  It is one of the more cold hardy climbing roses.  Here in zone 5 I mulch heavy around the crown.  

The fragrance of the Zephirine Drouhin is amazing.  

Boogie was ready for our walk in the garden this morning.  Pictures from our walk can be found on facebook under Country Flower Bin. 

Now Jerry on the other hand wanted no part of our morning walk. 

New Dawn Rose

Starting to really show a number of blooms today.  New Dawn rose. 

This Clematis is making good use of this trellis this year.  I find that this plant loves alot of water.  Make sure to give it plenty of mulch also and you will be pleased with the results.  

Bright orange Asiatic Lily 2011 

Lily 2011 

This yellow Asiatic Lily was a bright yellow and looked great with the lavender and light orange Lily.   2011 

This Asiatic Lily was such a beautiful color.  

Rugosa Rose  The original rugosa roses apparently arrived in Europe some time in the late 1700s.  By the end of the nineteenth century, people began to recognize the attributes of rugosa roses.  Their extreme cold hardiness and disease resistance is a plus.  They soon found that rugosas could be crossed with just about any other type of rose to yield an attractive and worthwhile shrub.  Rugosas actually prefer light, sandy soils and tolerate salt air well.  They are immune or extremely resistant to black spot and powdery mildew.   I think it is one of the sweetest scented rose I have ever smelled.   

Rosa CL Morning Magic 

O.K. look whose back in the Secret Garden and trying to hide again.  

I love this Hosta.  He really knows how to show off. 

Look who landed in the Parsley fern. 

I wish I could bottle this color. 

She looks so peaceful.  

This Iris looks like I took a paint brush and painted the yellow on. it, but I didn't. 

Bronze Fennel looks so delicate in the sunshine. 

Loving this Blue Iris and the rust is starting to pop up. 

Have to find something really neat for each side of the cement bench.  I planted the lavender petunias in the pots. 

Love the sun shining on the plants.  This is a picture taken this morning early. 

Purple is the color for Secret Garden this year.  

This Iris is really starting to show off. 

Lambsear for everyone who loves a plant that keeps on giving.  This plant will make an excellent ground cover.  This one will have pink purple flowers.  The main attraction of these plants are the large velvety leaves.  Also I love the color it adds to the garden no matter what you put it beside.  Grow in well drained soil with plenty of sunshine.  I also use this plant in my dried arrangements.  The best time to pick for drying is just before it starts to bloom.  If you pick it after the flowers open the flowers will turn brown.  When I begin to pick some I will show you when it's ready before I pick.     

I just got a new rose.  Peace has been the all-tome best-known, best loved, and best-selling hybrid tea almost from the moment of its introduction.  It has a charming, double, large, and mildly fragrant flowers that are an ever-changing blend of yellow, pink, and carmine.
