Some Flowers Around My Yard

Double Delight my favourite rose

Chinese ground orchid, complete with dendrobium beetle eating its flowers and buds.

A ground dendrobium.

A type of Salvia, not sure which one of the 500 varieties it is.

I have such fond memories of double delight! There were a couple of other Jackson & Perkins roses too. Mr. Lincoln, Peace, J. F. K, Melodie parfumee, matador, oregold. So many. When I lived in Washington State, our yard was full of roses. They are much more difficult to grow in Miami. Too hot, and honestly, roses really do need the dormant period.

I'm seeing some lovely roses in NYC.

Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Roses do it tough up here the humidity gets them, I would like to get a Mr Lincon, but sadly have no room for it at the moment. I also have in the garden Just Joey, Blue Moon, Cameloen, Burgandy Iceberg, Banksia rose 9yellow), William Shakespear, and some other ones I have forgotten the names of as well as about 12 un-named minitures.

Thanks for the comment, when I get some more pics I'll post them too.
