A rose by any other name...

For whatever reason, we're having a banner Spring for roses this year - even though the peonies and bleeding hearts kind of fizzled on us.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a little of the beauty with you. Click 'em to see more detail!

I love peonies- we can't grow them in Texas. It is way too hot for them!

Gorgeous. I've never heard of the crocus rose but I can see why they're called that - beautiful.

Stunning! Lucky you. Reminds me of my grandmother's garden in BC when I was a kid.

The bleeding hearts on our street are doing really well.

Carlos tends to the rosdes of Chez Smallville, and we've had some lovely blooms this year. I'll have to show him yours for inspiration!
