Jen, So pretty I agree those yellow blooms must just light up the yard. Some of my columbine are still blooming, too.
Hart, I'm dying here, waiting for my first water flower blooms. Both your water lily and iris are beautiful.
OK, since we are talking roses here. I have got to show you this. It is the only other rose I have other than the climbers on the fence out front. It is very old and had been planted in front of the Juniper hedge many years ago. Talk about black spot and whatever other rose disease in the book. It would put out these very pretty red flowers and drop every black spotted yellowing leaf. When the hedge started to encroach I didn't care, when the hedge encompassed it I didn't care. I thought it would die a hidden and possibly natural or should I say unnatural death. Nope not my rose, every year or so it struggles to push out a branch. Yes the leaves are still black spotted and yellowing but the blooms are beautiful.
