In Bloom

This Scarlet Hawthorne has been turning into a scarlet and white hawthorne over the past several years.
Makes for an interesting contrast but.......	it does look kind of strange
The Cactus were in rare form this summer.

Cacti can add a lot of color to early summer and this year was exceptional.
This is a replacement rose - Bronze Star.  Very nice blooms.               Still having some trouble with the rugosas.  Sigh.....
The wild flower bed  looks better this year.                                           Iceberg got creamed last winter.  Embarassing to show any more.
'Have you noticed I'm out of food?'	Adam's Needle Yucca bloom.
Queen Elizabeth	Mr. Lincoln - had to take this one down to the ground as well.
Darlow's Enigma came through relatively unscathed.	The deck is off to a good start this year.
We lost half the silverlace vine - that's hard to do.	Another shot of Bronze Star.
