We are having an unusual Spring, with wild fluctuations in temperature, too much rain, lots of wind. In our yard, weeds look like they love it, I cannot keep up with them. After an auspicious start, peonies wilted or even rotted. Only roses and clematises are still looking good, as seen in the following photos I just took this afternoon.
Knockout Rose, the most popular these days. You see them everywhere.
Heritage Rose, small but with outstanding color and texture.
Clematis, a faithful flower that keeps coming back year after year.
Clematis after wind blew off its petals.

These flowers and their colors exude a vibration that make me smile! Thanks for sharing! Light and Love, Shona

Thanks Doda! Tea roses take a lot of work to maintain, and I probably tried planting some years ago, but they did not survive.

Thanks John. I complain about the weather, but you are living in 100 degree temperatures!

I complain too but it is a nice dry 100 here, no humidity, which makes it much more bearable. Thankfully I’m not in one of the areas where the temperatures go well above a 100! This even feels better than one of the 90 degree days back east with the high Humiditys, so I won’t complain too loud 🙂

Thanks Amy! I think the ups and downs of the temperature, and too much rain has not helped.

These all belong on a Hallmark card Hien, fantastic. While it is hard not to admire all these photos (and flowers), your final shot of the exposed Clematis is quite special ~ a perfect way to end this post.

That’s pretty handy, you have a green thumb to grow beautiful flowers to photograph so well. Sorry about the peonies though it has been a rough year for flowers.

Thank you Jerry. Some of the flowers were planted more than 20 years ago. Nature took care of most!
