Roses

Many, many roses in bloom! Unfortunately, the Japanese beetles really like my favorite, the Mainzer Fastnacht (the light purple one; pronounced: mine-zer fass-e-nacht). I wish this had option of including smell with the posts. There is no nicer smell than that of the Fastnacht!

Morning Glories

These beautiful flowers like to climb.

Not-so-hardy Hibiscus

Along with the hardy hibiscus posted a few days ago, we have some of the tropical variety. This is a rather neat potted hibiscus that is actually a woven "tree" of three varieties that bloom red, yellow and pink. In this picture, I tried to catch all three colors. This one needs to come in every winter, of course.

An Influx of Phlox

Due to my woefully deficient posting lately, here is an infusion of phlox! All are currently blooming in the garden.

Bad Nauheim Rose

Named for the area in Germany that my mom is from, the Bad Nauheim rose is a gorgeous, bright red in color.

Raspberries

The raspberries in the southeast corner of the garden and very ripe and quite tasty!
