  1. All right Mrs. Barron why is Oskar up on the roof? I LOVE YOUR YELLOW AND ORANGE TIPPED ROSES! Dylan dog and I are going to head to the garden center at lunchtime to see if the rose shipment has come in yet, I’m buying more roses. Boy your place is really in bloom right now isn’t it? Such beautiful images! Enjoy your day Karin!

  3. Why is Oskar up on the roof???
    He's playing 'Tennessee Williams'!!!

    The rose was planted by Mr. B about 25 years ago and as far he can remember the name is 'Harlequinade', quite suitable for this pretty one.
    And yes, in and on every corner of the garden there is something flowering.
    Happy rose-hunting dear Debra!

  5. Karin-
    I'll take up the slack for the tree peonies- ours should be blooming in a week or two. First we need some sunshine, though!

    Happy first week of May to you!

  6. Karin, love the roses and peonies. We can't grow peonies in South Louisiana and I so long to have some. Yours are beautiful! Wishing you a blessed week!

  11. Ah...newlyweds! And who wouldn't be on a cloud with a garden like yours to wake up to! My peonies are tight little buds. I'm hovering over them...counting...saying a little prayer! XOXO Trish

  12. Oh Trish - looking so much forward to see your peonies!!!! Can't wait!

    Our tree peonies are gone, the "German's" as well and I have already 2 blossom on a white perennial one. Not all that many buds this year, lots of leaves, and really a bit too early. First. everything was very late, and now nearly everything is flowering at the same time and not long lasting, crazy year! What will we have in June in our garden here???

    Thanks for your lovely comment!
