Today the beauties enjoyed a hot dry day..






The Canadian Bred Roses....


Morden Blush..

Champlain...a tiny bush that winter killed to the ground..giving you all it's got...

Cuthbert Grant...

Hope for Hummanity...bred to commemorate the Canadian Red Cross...

Then the old fashioned roses.....very fragrant Hansa...

An unknown rose from an old neighbor lady who got it from her Dad's garden...most fragrant...

And lastly...a rare beauty...a wild white rose we dug from the ditch...the little bees find it most appealing....

Till next time...remember to take time to smell the roses....

The Queenfor the day is the Peony....


They can really put on a nice show...and their fragrance can fill the yard.

They come in many different colors and sizes...

The blossoms are fragile and heavy...tomorrows wind and rain will shatter the ones in bloom...


Another beauty you have to enjoy for the day.....

NW,
They areall beautiful.....especially the white peonys.

Ramona....You asked about an Iris in your photo...

The closest thing I have is the Siberian Iris...

I love the Peonies...but their beauty is so fleeting...if you pick them and bring them in they smell wonderful and may drop their petals the next day....Beautiful non the less.

God's handiwork is all around us and it is awesome !!!

 

[NorthernWinos]

The roses have taken a beating from the recent heavy rains....over 7 inches since Wednesday..6.47" came in 36 hours..


The petals have been beaten off the big shrub rugosa rose...

The climbers are doing well...

And the little bushes are blooming their hearts out...will get beaten by heavy rains later tonight...

The late blooming Peonies are doing well, but won't look like this after tonights rains...

The other flowers are thriving form all the moisture...

The pond is full....the burn piles are floating and a big willow that was gracefully leaning over the pond, fell over....

Life goes on....

NW,


I look forward everyday to checking this post to see your pictures!!


Just want you to know!!! Ramona

 

[grapeman]

NW when are you going to start posting your pictures with SmellItNet.com? All you need is the camera with the little sniffer , sort of like the little microphone on the phones now. The scent is transmitted to digital, sent through the SmellItNet interface using the standard internet. Uses basically the same technology as Vonage. On the receiving end it is transmitted back fom digital to the scent emitter. Works great as there is 100 percent accuracy guaranteed. Only takes a few minutes to sign up. Just go to imgullybull.com and sign up.

 

[NorthernWinos]

Appleman....Wonldn't that be nice!!!!


Ramona....glad you enjoy the photos...I send some via Email to some special folks who need cheering almost everyday.

 

[peterCooper]

Northern,

I'd be very afraid of SmellItNet.com.

Imagine some of the cabbage wines, beet and wierd green stuff that I found in the yard wines etc that we see on this forum, coming through with that kind of technology!!!

And what would happen if you were browsing the forum and the boss walked in . He He.

 

[scotty]

I get email notifications about posts being made on finevinewines. ----I race to open and read them. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING INTERESTING


YEESH!!!!!!!!!! SMELTIVISION

NW -- I love those climbers -- do you prune them back in the fall? Ours aren't nearly that high or profuse yet.
