Smelling the Roses

Roses in front of House
Several of my friends have told me to stop working in the yard and just spend some time to smell the roses. So yesterday that's what I tried to do.  So I just walked around the property to see what was in bloom. I did spend a lot of time watching Wimbledon too (it was quarter finals and lots of great tennis on TV)!   So here's some of what I saw, only a few of which I know what they are; the others are mostly weeds, but pretty, so I leave them:

Queen of the Prairie

Allium Giganteum


Butterfly Weed, I think



Of course I had to do some deadheading of peonies as I walked around. They are everywhere!

  1. Pretty flowers, whatever their names! I especially like the purple/blue spire one.
