A Walk Through My Garden

Let's walk through the garden.  My sweet friend, Danni, of Silo Hill Farm has asked me to label the photos from Yesterday's Post.  Here ya go, Danni!

This medium pink, fragrant, rugosa rose is Therese Bugnet.

Here is Therese again with native yellow trumpet honeysuckle (lonicera) and native crossvine (bignonia) in the background.

The name of this peony is Buckeye Belle.  When she first opens, the petals are almost black, then fade in the sunshine to magnificent shades of red.

Iris, but I don't know which hybrid.

This peony is Coral Charm.  A stunning color, but not fragrant at all.

Have a lovely day!

    I'm pretty bad at remembering names of flowers and plants, so I always love to see blog posts that show the names! I like that deep purple iris.

  6. I just knew that rose was Therese Bugnet! I worked at a nursery when I was in high school, and that variety was my favorite of all the ones we sold. I've got three of them growing in my yard right now.
