ROSES

Have I mentioned that the rose garden we put in last year is gloriously blossomed? Every color you can have; even the purple!

All the plants, save one, are blooming full tilt.

Some have as many as 8 blooms and a dozen buds ready to burst.

It is quite spectacular and after a cold season of loss—ficus, bougainvillea and hibiscus—they more than compensate.

We have had the orchid tree going since the middle of January but it is now fading and will get pruned radically this weekend.

So the roses are just in time.

I did notice that, out back, there are iris about to raise their blooms up. Maybe we will get a double slam of blossoms.

And there are the 7 Bird of Paradise flowers in the front garden.

It is spring! Well, summer.
