Blooms 2011 #6

Had it. Crypto Knaptonensis. Mine croaked. Yours looks great!

Morden Blush, another rose much happier after being moved out of too much shade.

OMG....isn't that the one we were both trying to get form Tiny Treasures a few years ago?? I picked it up locally as impulse buy. Didn't realize it was the same one! Love it!....and thanks!

peony Sarah Bernhardt .... I think

Peony Shirley Temple.... I think

Clem Candida

oh I so need Sarah Bernhardt for Hope.. call her that all the time

Hosta Fire and Ice. One of my favorite hostas

lol Allison!

Polonaise with something, maybe Rainbow Knockout behind it.

Marchesa Boccella

Nicole, a rose that has struggled, but I refuse to shovel prune for sentimental reasons

Bantry Bay, a wonderful climbing rose that does fine in the NE

Weisse aus Sparrieshoop, a simple bloom, but nice

Autumn Sunset, clem Viola is with it and about to bloom. Would be a nice pairing except this year Viola is smothering the rose.

Clem Durandii with rose Crown Princess Margareta

Dublin Bay, yet another much happier since getting different real estate

Zephirine spilling all over the fence.

Allison, this is Pinky. Doesn't it look just like Carnaby???

Lots of beauties, Weeze! Always liked Zepherine. Might grow it as a shrub rose in my pool area.

Glad you like Coppertina - one of my faves.

Finally downloaded the pics in the camera. I'll start with a few.

Swamp iris Copper something.

Cholmondeley.

Physo Summer Wine.

Golden Shadows.

I think Franziska Maria.

Last for now - tulip tree. Loads of flowers this year.

yes it does Weeze.. but mine came from lowes.. you never know

copper something is awesome Victor

mmmm, I like copper something too! Nice pics, Victor. I think your F. Maria is Teshio.

What is Golden Shadows?

Teshio from the Godfather?? Not sure I have that one.

GS is a pagoda dogwood.

Teshio from clematis on the web.

I thought GS leaves looked like a DW, but the bloom is different. Nice! I like the color of yours and Allison's.

WOW, gorgeous stuff ya got there, Weeze!!!

Wow, quite a few beauties Weeze and Victor. Your roses are amazing, just shut the tv off after the God awful Bulls/ Miami game and have a lot to cheer about. Victor beautiful shots. Love your golden shadows.

'Swamp' iris is a Louisiana iris. People I brought from home turns out to probably be 'Sarah Bernhardt. If you need the round supports to hold up the stems, it certainly is.

Thanks, Rama. Was rooting against the Heat, so now I am going for the Mavs, despite their idiot owner.

That iris is Iris fulva (won't tell you what the spell-check just corrected it to!), within the common name of Copper iris. From FW.

Plyers can't help their owner. Root for the Heat, Victor. Rooting against them seems to help them win. With their talent they should win championships, it would be nasty to have them win the first year. Especially when James quit on his team last yr.

Iris fulva is one of the Louisiana series.

Yes, I would hate to see the Heat win so fast. NY fans have no love lost for Pat Riley.

Celtics fans either. Too much 'great I'.

Beautiful roses Weeze! I wish I could smell them!!
I like that copper something to Victor!

Iris MA no offense, I lived in RI and rooted for the Knicks, celtics were the doormats back then, and I agree with you all, no heat for me. They are the Yankees of Basketball. Last quarter yesterday was all touch fouls on one end save for one flagrant. I am also antilakers. So, go Mavs!!!

Wow, just beautiful photos!
