Stunningly beautiful!

WOWZER!!!! Honestly, I don't know why you would want to do 4 National Parks in Utah plus 2 stops in AZ when you have these amazing gardens right at your own home. Your place is what would be in the dictionary under "Paradise".

Stunning! Thanks for giving us all a mini-vacation through your wonderful photos and gardens!

Thanks Becky! The scenery we saw was pretty awesome though!

Arches National Park


Monument Valley, AZ


Antelope Canyon Slot, AZ

One more, the view of Monument Valley seen in the movie Forrest Gump

Home and road trip are just breathtaking! May you continue to be blessed with success!

Wow! I can only imagine the wonderful fragrance in your garden. Thank you so much for sharing these photos with us here.

Looks and sounds like you had an amazing trip!

Time for some updates.

I did a little deadheading this afternoon and had to clip several long stems off of Caramella, they were almost laying on the ground. Now enjoying them indoors.
The bloom trusses are huge and after I clipped off some of the old shattered blooms, I couldn't help taking more pictures, trying out different angles. This rose is humongous, probably 7 ft. tall and as wide, at least! (Photos prettier enlarged)





Grace, another one I just can;t get enough photos of.


Cute little Rose (Rosa 'Perle d'Or') and I spotted something in that first shot and went in for a closer look.


The lowering light in the evening just pops the colors but does mess with my focus sometimes. The colorful Jacob's Robe on left with Brothers Grimm in the background.


I had to stand on a large pot to get the tops of Lady Emma Hamilton, she is over 6 ft. this year.


Summer Song


And the always stunning Aloha (by Kordes)


My Romantika has never looked so full!

Looks darker in the evening shade. (First shot includes a chicken.)


This is Clematis 'Ashva' but the blooms are stunted, probably half the size of normal. I have it planted next to a climbing rose (you can see them paired in the Ashva database entry) and I just discovered the rose has a large crown gall growth so maybe that affected it. Unfortunately, the rose will have to be removed.



Rhapsody is blooming next to these cute lime Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana alata 'Lime Green') They have been self seeding here for a few years now. The green makes such a nice backdrop for that blue.


Cafe rose backed by Romatika clematis and some white abutilon mingling in.


Summer Song rose hanging with the extremely fragrant Lemoine's Mock Orange (Philadelphus 'Belle Etoile')


The perfectly named Rose (Rosa 'Bouquet Parfait') since one stem makes the sweetest mini bouquet.




Two brights paired together, my favorite alstroemeria and Brothers Grimm rose


Mini blooms on Rambling Rose (Rosa 'Veilchenblau')


Picked this African Daisy (Osteospermum ecklonis Ostica™ Bronze) up couple of weeks ago.


Thanks for visiting says Poppy.

Just wonderful. Your photo skills are terrific.
Lets hope it's a great year for all plants.

Oh my, it's like taking a trip to a botanical garden each time you update, lol! Each photo is better that the one before it, Sue. Sorry you may lose your rose next to Clematis 'Ashva'. That rose has a beautiful array of warm colors.

That African Daisy is so darn cute! Love the green vase that you put those roses in and the flowering tobacco is awesome.

It is like a magical secret garden! You are blessed that everything grows so well there! The last picture is perfect!

Many blessings for your continued success!

Enjoyed getting caught up on your garden. Roses are knockouts!

I would never be able to pull myself away from walking your beautiful creations. Amazing.

So beautiful - I love all of these pictures, so many wonderful areas of your garden. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you @Sweetwind, and

Bump

At this time of being stuck , I get joy from visiting others gardens
This is one of my favorites
If you could use some cheer too , give a look at this beautiful garden from some years back

Thanks! I have actually been going through my progress posts myself lately!

I couldn't keep up here and on the blog too so have additional posts there, although not many. Need to pull the camera out again, it does a much better job than the cell phone shots I added in the blog.
