Gorgeous blooms, Holly!

Here is a pic of my Begonia semperflorens 'Kaylen'. I am happy to share (it's gotten quite large) if anyone is interested!

Also, I cannot believe how my mini rose bush has come back (well, left over from the previous owner of my house)! I think I mentioned that I had given up on it and pruned it way back. Well, not only has it been growing like a weed, it has also started blooming! All the leaves you see below are healthy new growth (previously all the leaves were covered in damage from different pests and disease). Anyway, I'm pleased! When I started gardening I imagined all the joy would be in sitting back and admiring the flowers--and I definitely enjoy that! :-D --but I'm also finding I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing something flourishing that I had just about given up on. (The whole-bush photo is from a few days ago before it started blooming--now there are a handful of blooms on it--it took me quite by surprise!)
