Okay, yes, this is my garden and here is what's happening -
|
Rose Cove late summer - 2016 Morning Glories come up every year now and share the trellises with the roses. |

The Secret Garden -
So named because when we first moved in (May 4th, 18 years ago) there was nothing there except grass.
And then as the spring progressed day lilies and phlox popped up among the weeds. We added the path
and the fence and the arbor, but it fit so perfectly I think we were really recreating something that had
been there long ago - before the lady of the house got too old to maintain it. She loved purple and orange -
there are purple and orange flowers all over the property. I never met her - she had passed
before we bought the property, but her legacy lives on. (I heard she was an authoress too).
Here you can see some of the day lilies - most have been moved but the phlox is still there
- not in bloom yet in this picture.

My very favorite Iris -

The Rose Cove - Dublin Bay climbing rose and lots of Knock Out roses
There's also a giant pink tea rose that came with the house - was right in the middle of the lawn with 2 of it's buddies - we moved them.
