When we first moved here, I really didn’t give the hillside on the property too much thought. I just said to myself that I was going to plant some pine trees there. At the time, there were some “unbloomed” bushes waiting for leaves. Some of them were those ever growing pricker bushes.
When I was a kid, we had this huge pricker bush in between our property and the neighbor’s. It was large and really needed to be taken care of because it was taking up so much room. I can’t really ever remember any flowers growing on that pricker bush. Oh, how times have changed.
A few weeks ago, I took some pictures of some half bloomed flowers in the front. I really didn’t know what I was in store for and to be honest, I am quite impressed.
Here, I’ll show you what I am talking about…
This is just a random shot in one of the more clustered parts of th flowers. As you can see, there are some pink roses in there.
Here is a better picture of those pink roses.
Here are a few photos of the whole area of flowers. Pretty neat, huh?
On my way back, I decided to pick Laura a bouquet of flowers. I think this is the nicest one yet.

I think so much of myself, don’t I? Just look at that title.
As I was wondering around outside today, sweating, I decided to take some more photos of the flowers on the property. You may already have seen some of these, but others are new. I know this because we just planted them.
On the same day I bought the Rhododendrons in the post below, Laura decided to put some flowers in the shopping cart. I usually don’t go down the flower isle, but then again, I am boring.
Here is what she picked out.
This is a Stargazer Lily. I believe we may already have a few, but there is no harm in getting more.
This is somesort of a cream Lily. I asked Laura what the name of it was, but she couldn’t remember. Please feel free to inform us.
This is Sage. I am told that it spreads to make a nice ground cover. I hope so, because there is a lot of ground.
That’s all of the new flowers. Now on to the existing ones.
This is Baily’s Gold. From what I gather, this is a nice spreading flower as well and is really easy to keep. I think I am going to split up the existing ones and disperse them around the area.
Here are some more Iris. These are light purple though and a bit more delicate looking than the other Iris.
Again, the showcase Lupine that sits at the edge of the sidewalk. This really is a facinating flower. It has been fun watching it mature.
There is no shortage of Roses around. This is just a small sample of some pink Roses and red Roses. They really are beautiful.
