My Pink Garden on Saturday

Today I would like to share the pink from my garden.

bleeding heart

 

The first pink that appeared in my garden was my beautiful bleeding heart that my Mother gave me the first spring after I bought my home.

 

peony

 

And then last weekend the peonies were in full bloom. This is a fairly young plant so I only had about a half of a dozen blooms but the were beautiful.

 

peach rose 3

Now and for the rest of the summer, these roses will climb up the lattice next to my deck. I planted them for privacy even though I new it would take a few years for them to climb all the way up the lattice.

 

 bright pink rose

 

I bought a pink rose, a yellow rose, and a white rose. I ended up with the above pink, a brighter pink and a yellow rose.

I think that next spring I’m going to move the bright pink one to a place all by itself and by another white one (I hope) to put in the middle. I should have taken a picture of the whole lattice but I can’t now because it’s dark outside.

 

rose bunch

 

This is the bunch that I picked to bring in the house. I weeded my front flower bed before going in the house and then my legs were so tired and sore I left them on the counter for a bit . . .

 

tuxie smells roses

 

. . . and they got wilted but I think Tuxie liked them anyway!  Next time I’ll take a pitcher of water out with me.

 

Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday every week. This is a very fun event. Each of us post a picture of something pink on our blog on Saturday and try to visit as many of the other blogs as possible. Big thanks to Beverly for coordinating all the pinkaliciousness!

Happy Pink Saturday,

Christine

Thanks so much for sharing your pink this week and for making my morning just a little bit brighter. Wishing you a special weekend filled with fun and family.

Hi Christine! The flowers are beautiful, but I get a bigger kick out of seeing Tuxie!! (cute name, I have a black and white short-haired cat.. VERY spoiled!! Demands attention ALL the time, but he's my baby!) Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you're having a wonderful week!
