Hi Missy, welcome to ATP! and thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it seems bigger to us too, mostly because of the large redwood trees in the background that are on the other side of the back fence.

This is my Ghislaine de Feligonde rose, we still need to build an arbor for it for and train it for over the pathway. Enlarge it to see it's guardian. nodding

You've convinced me I need Dart's Gold, my Sky Garden needs it. Ghislaine de Feligonde is glorious, ...and very well guarded indeed, LOL. Colette Thurillet is one of the most beautiful irises I've seen, gonna need that too.

Even not being blue, your Salvia canariensis is beautiful! Talking about canariensis, my Campanula canariensis has a flower (happy dance). This plant was grown from seeds obtained in a DG seed trade, long time ago.

My confusión occurred because you did not give a title for the first picture of Post #855978 (13). Now it's clear it's an Anchusa azurea (or not? Hilarious! ), I have not seen that plant around here. Love it! I still have to find a plant in your garden I do NOT like Lovey dubby

BTW, did you find a good home for the two rose shrubs you pulled?

All About Spring is exquisite! And I love the way Westerland picks up the blush of Sally Holmes, I would never have thought to combine them like that- Sue, you're such a masterful artiste!
