more photos from my garden

Really busy lately, but I'm finally getting caught up on stuff. Yay! I feel really happy today! Here's some photos I've been gradually saving from my garden over the past week or so:



Mushrooms coming up in the lawn


Jude the Obscure (LOVE IT, LOVE IT, smells wonderful!)




James Galway cl's first bloom


Sydonie and some poppies I grew from seed


a tiny band of Compt de Chambord


Gloire de Dijon. This is my second bloom on this tiny band. But every time the bloom gets to about this stage... something EATS it. I took this photo yesterday, and today the bloom is totally gone. Like something ate the whole bud and part of the stem right off. >:( I haven't been able to see a mature bloom of it because of this.
This plant is so small that it's buds are very close to the ground, so I think that's why it's a target? Is it rabbits?


Lavender Pink Noisette's first bloom


William Shakespeare 2000 again


my herb pots (look how happy they are!)


Koi at the nursery


A few of my seedlings from Jocelyn (which are now planted in the garden)


A purple tree. :) These grow all over the place in southern california.




The mountains (foothillls?) near where I live.

Whats the pretty blue flower in the seedling picture?

I don't know. :)

The flower eater is probably a bunny or a squirrel. My step-mom had an incident where a squirrel was eating all the flowers off her plants, and a similar thing happened to my friend at work except that it was a bunny.

I guess flowers taste better than the other parts of the plant?

The purple tree is a Jacaranda and they are one of my favorite trees.

I'm not sure if you get deer in your area, but they LOVE to eat roses. They've eaten three of my neighbors rose bushes down to the stem. I was told that the only way to keep them off my lilies was to spray "Deer Off", which you can find at any garden store. It STINKS to high heavan when you first spray it on, but it seems to do the trick.
You're garden looks lovely!

Beautiful pics! I really like the cute little mushrooms coming up and the mountain view at the end is dreamy.

beautiful pictures...everytime you post your roses, I want to order lots and lots, but I just don't have a good spot that wouldn't keep them from getting roasted by the hot winds we get.

Try putting a cage around the smaller roses, maybe that will keep the mystery eaters out of them.

That is a huge Jacaranda...I want to plant one in front of my house, just haven't done it yet :)

Put a chicken wire cage around the flowers that keep getting eaten. Works for geese.
