FRIDAY FLOWERS! :)

Happy Friday Everyone!

I am so excited to show you this week's Friday Flowers! Here in Portland, Oregon we have a reputation for our Roses. :)

P.Town is sometimes called "The City Of Roses." We have a gorgeous Rose Garden, which is what us Plebs call it but its official name is the "International Rose Test Garden" If you would like to read more about it here is a very informative LINK

A few weeks ago my Hubby and I took a trip to visit the Rose Garden and I took 500 photos in less than an hour. Here are the ones I love, I hope you enjoy them too!

I added this shot, not because it is overly stunning but that it has the Rose in every stage from bud all the way thru to a wilting flower. I love it :)

Even rain damaged these Roses look gorgeous!

I really hope you enjoyed this little tour of our wonderful Rose Garden here in P.Town. :) Come back next week for some of the other plants at the Rose Garden :)

Have a Lovely Weekend everyone, see you next week :)

FRIDAY FLOWERS! :)

Happy Friday Everyone! :)

I wanted to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to everyone who left such heartwarming comments on my last blog post. It was a tough piece to write but I felt it was the right time. I am a pretty private person and not many people around me know what I deal with but I just felt if it could help anyone then it was worth writing. You guys rock, thank you again, it is amazingly awesome to know that you are there, sending your Love, cheers, T. :)

And now to Friday Flowers! :)

We have had lovely weather this week and some of our tomatoes have ripened, YAY!

The leaves are starting to Fall from the big Oak Tree in our Garden and there is definitely an Autumnal feel to the early morning (not that I see it that often He! He! :)

So, here are the last of the Flowers to grace our Garden this year. I have had so much fun showing you all around. But even though our Garden is done, there are still some beautiful things I have to share with you in the next few weeks. :)

So, stay tuned, as they say :)

Rose among the Lavender

Snapdragons, the kids loved to make these "Talk" by gently squeezing the sides :)

Geranium

Verbena, I love this one because it starts a deep peachy colour and goes to an almost peachy white, gorgeous!

Coleus and Geranium

Last Pink Rose

Double Delight Roses (The best Fragrant Roses, I think! )

Buddleia

Scented Tobacco Plants

I am having so much fun playing with the angles and light in my photos right now :)

Hanging Baskets are still looking good :)

This is my Fav. right now. The Hydrangea is changing to its Fall colours and the low afternoon background light coming thru the trees is so much fun to play with :)

Just an extra pop of colour to get us thru the next few weeks :)

When I looked at this Rose I immediately thought of a Nuns wimple, like Sally Fields as the Flying Nun :)

Mimosa Tree or the "Pink Fluffy Stuff" :)

A few shots of this beautiful Japanese Maple Leaf :)

And I couldn't resist adding yet another Spiders Web, as we have so many. This one was huge approx. 18" (not the spider He! He!) But seriously they are big enough!!

Lost count of how many I walked into this week :(

I hope you enjoyed Friday Flowers!

Have a Lovely Weekend everyone, see you next week :)
