When I posted Jim’s flower photos the other day, I received requests for more. So, I asked him to take another walk around our yard and provide some more photos.

The first is a Simplicity Rose blossom, from a group of roses that I bought years ago from the Jackson Perkins rose company. All but two of the rose bushes have now converted themselves into their original root stock, the Rugosa Rose, an example of which we showed you last time.
White Hydrangeas were here forever, probably planted by our home’s former owner, who was quite the gardener. Funny, I always thought this bush was called the “St. Johnsbury Bush.” The connection is that two of my aunts and my grandmother lived for a time in St. Johnsbury, VT where one of my aunts taught school. The bush grew there, in their yard, and they had always referred to it as “you know, the St. Johnsbury Bush!”
Last time, we showed you the blue version of the Bellflower. Here is a white one.
Finally, Jim took another photo of a Gloriosa Daisy. These mutate into all kinds of wonderful combinations of colors and are a sturdy plant that returns year after year, if not always in the same place!

Very pretty! I love the colors.
