Oh thank you. That is soooo pretty. I love flowers of all sorts. We just don’t grow many ornamentals. Hubby thinks everything you grow should be edible.

I have mostly roses, because they don’t take much effort, and rose hips are useful source of Vitamin C and used in lots of teas.

They’re amazing, aren’t they? And there are two more long stalks covered with flower buds.

Guess I’m now an orchid grower!

I think I’ll just leave them as is and not fuss with them, after all if it ain’t broke why fix it? and they seem to be really thriving right where they are, even amid a mass of honeysuckle vines.

My DH also believes everything planted should have a purpose — he planted a Southern California apple tree that is now shading my prized roses! Don’t know what to do, he’s SO proud of those apples but the tree is causing my roses not to bloom.
