Things Are Growing

So just a quick look at how things are growing out back. It's a big change, when we moved in six months ago there was nothing growing except the trees. I don't think anyone ever planted a single flower on the property, so sad.  Out home in Alabama had very mature beautiful plants every where. Azaleas, gardenias, iris's, pecan tree, pomegranate bushes, holly etc.

 It just seemed so barren and unloved here at this new home. We love flowers and we spend so much time at home now that I wanted to really give it some love and TLC. It's amazing how much plants cost these days so I'll be doing it a little at a time. I especially wanted to plant the roses tho, I wanted some flowers that smelled really wonderful and looked just as wonderful to cut for inside the house.

So here we go, the area above my back steps are planted with Vinca and Asparagus Sprengeri, I can't remember what the light colored plant is but I like it hehe.

Down below I planted some coneflowers , my Eden climbing rose and my Moondance Rose.
I know it looks a little bare. I'll be adding some more coneflowers and maybe some sort of white flower to fill it in a little until the roses get bigger. There were a few odd bricks and blocks along with some wood laying around so I just used them for a border of sorts.

This is what Moondance will look like...

And the gorgeous Eden climbing rose.....

Close up of the Coneflower....

Next to the side gate I have lantanas which I love. They are pretty and carefree so what's not to like?

I have a lot of pink flowers so I wanted to add some blue in with this pretty plumbago.

My daughter got me this cute little chicken garden decor. I used to have chickens in Alabama and really miss having them. We aren't allowed to have them in my neighborhood, boo.

Take a look at this beautiful flower, it a form of Hibiscus.

My little succulents are doing really well too, take a look.....

Oh I almost forgot about the rose bed. I received my bareroot roses a little late in the season so no flowers yet but lots of leaves.

I have the following roses planted in there..... Sunny Days...

My Olivia Rose Austin English rose.....

Jane Seymour Hybrid Tea

Bella Roma, a very fragrant rose, in fact all of the roses i planted are very fragrant.

Aromatherapy...

Clouds of Glory, isn't it beautiful!

I also planted this Beautiful Bride Clematis, I've never had one of these. It's only like 3 inches high right now but this is what it will look like, lots of growing to do!

Another first time plant for me, a Peony, this one is called Sorbet.

So that's it so far. Whats growing in YOUR garden?
