my chicago peace rose bloomed again, they are not the best looking roses but they look good to me, this is my first year with roses.

 

[mellokitty]

looks like an heirloom variety.... does it have a strong smell to it?

very beautiful. this is my second year with roses (i managed to kill last year's white roses after all.... oops ) and i have a couple varieties on next year's list already....

 

[mcpurple]

yes it does has a strong smell, the label that came with it does not say its a heirloom, it says its a hybrid tea rose ( chicago peace rose)

now im gonna have to do some research on it.

 

[mellokitty]

ah, the wonderful world of roses.....

holy shit i just google imaged it.... LOTS of phenos. i always thought that scrunchy look in the middle suggested an heirloom.... guess i was wrong.

this is the rose i want for next year:

hybrid tea rose "caribia" (i saw one at the nursery when i bought the "love" rose and still kick myself for not getting it..... *sigh*)

the rose you want looks very exotic. i know want one as well.

i just got some bush beans, i got contender (green), royal burgundy bean bush ( purple), and pencil pod bean bush ( yellow).
im hoping they will produce before the 1st frost , i also started some fall crop peas (sugar snap), every thing should be sprouted by next week after i plant today.

you will be pushing the envilope but you can always cover with plastic to protect from frost. long as it doesnt freeze you should be fine. good luck...

very nice roses....

All my flowers have been a disaster this year. My climbing rtose bloomed once and then have done nothing since, MY JApanses azaleas got wrecked by my friend when I went on holiday, and the Honesuckle hasn't exactly been awe inspring, so it's nice to see someone with a touch. Lovely pic McP.

sorry to hear about your roses D. and thanks for the kind words. ever since i borrowed my buddies camera ive been taking pictures and i like to do so now, but i ha to give the cam back the other day. maybe its time for me to invest in a decent camera

 

[DST]

Once you got a good camera McP it's really quite addictive. And if you can save and get a DSLR then you will be instantly addicted.

 

[mellokitty]

shit, i just discovered the macro button on my 5mp S2 and i'm addicted.....

DST i'm having the opposite problem. my flowers are doing *great*. veggies? not so much. nothing but leafy greens so far.

dwarf oriental lily, "after 8":

 

[fumble]

Wow! What beautiful pics of flowers. I love the water drops on the roses. And your dwarf lily is gorgeous MK.

 

[mellokitty]

thank you fumble! glad i'm not the only one that likes the water drops. my grandiflora gets friggin puddles in it, and i love it:

yup, the flowers and herbs are doing great in the container garden. the main garden is struggling though.

 

[fumble]

Wow! pretty pretty. I bet it is waaay beautiful at night with the lights strung like that.

 

[mellokitty]

funny you should mention that, i LOVE my twilight garden....

this is about a month ago (and the only shot i have with the lights on):

a blurry non-flash pic (all the flashless pics were blurry, but the ones with flash don't quite do the twilight justice):

..... wish i had the smell-o-vision for you; the lilies are powerful fragrant at dusk....

 

[fumble]

Yeah, would def like to spend a lot of time out there! One of these days, you KNOW they will come up with smell-o-vision!

 

[mellokitty]
