| Sunflower - I think it needs some water. |

| Graham Thomas David Austin rose. This has to be, to me, the most beautiful color of yellow I've ever seen. |

| This zinnia is huge in size and is such a beautiful color of pink. It measures 5" across. |

| This is not a gardening photo, of course, but this is what I'm working on until this unrelenting heat subsides. I started this quilt in 1983 when my children were little, so I didn't get to work on it much at that time. The 100+ temps send me into house by 9:30 a.m. |

The Graham Thomas rose is stunning. Another yellow I like quite a bit from David Austin is Welsh Gold. It's a hard choice between the two.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I looked this one up - it does look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll very pretty! And I like your positive attitude. Your quilt is beautiful and will be a wonderful heirloom.
ReplyDeleteHollyGarden-Thanks for your compliment. I saw on your blog about the demise of the garden while away - I'm scared to go anywhere - it's like you can't go one day without watering and even then it just keeps the plants barely hanging on. I'm trying to remain optimistic, maybe August will be better. Good luck with yours and hang in there.
ReplyDeleteGraham certainly is a beauty and so is your quilt. I can think of nothing better to do on a hot summer's day.
ReplyDeleteHi there and thanks for paying me a visit. I honesty don't remember where I got Gypsy Romance... I do order from Schreiner. Last year the Iris borers did a job on my irises. I lost a lot of them.--Randy
ReplyDeleteI lost a lot to those little pests also - last season. So far so good this season.
ReplyDeleteLancashire Rose - Thanks. I had to snap the rose photos early in the morning because the petals are baked by the end of the day.
