The Last Rose of Summer

Had to share with you this lovely rose from the Rose Show on Sunday. I think it is my favourite.

I don't know why , but whenever I see it,

I think of my Mum and Grandma. Must be because it is so delicate!


Tuesday means tennis. Remembered to take my camera to take some photos of a couple of flowers I saw out there last week. (Just on the day you dont take the camera)!

This dear sweet little purple flower was flowering on the rocky bank. Well done little flower! Bloom where you are planted, a phrase that pops into mind!

I am not much of a photographer, I could hardly see the digital display out in the bright sunshine, so I have chosen the slightly out of focus photo. I thought it had a nice softer image to go with the rose above!

Then there was a lovely yellow flower on a bush that Sue has blooming away in a large pot. Well done Sue! Judith says her bush at home will not flower. Maybe they prefer to be cramped in a pot? Sorry I have no idea of the names of any of these flowers, I am not really that sort of gardener. I just like admiring them, and taking photos!

So if any of you are keen gardeners and can't bear to see an image without a name, then you are quite welcome to post the name in the comment section.I am also quite hopeless at getting these photos (wehn there are multiples) quite exactly where I wish them to go, (a quiet scream...arrgghh) so please bear with me till I learn a little more!!

Hope you have a great Tuesday too!
