  3. Hi Diane - those are lovely ... the little violas are particularly beautiful - though can understand why you'd love to send us the perfume of your roses. I hope you haven't had storms that have swamped the plants - still we need the rain - we haven't had much here ... but it's been around. Take care - Hilary

    1. Hi Hilary, those roses are very special, I must try and get some more cuttings from the plant as I have no idea what it is called. Stay safe, Diane

  5. The flowers are lovely indeed, Diane, and if there was a way to add the fragrance to the pictures that would make it all perfect! This is a fabulous time of year for inflorescence and our garden is brimming with colour, and the constant hum of pollinators going about their vital business. À la prochaine. David

    1. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get fragrance over the computer, but then on the other hand there would always be someone who would delight in putting on rotten eggs!!!! Keep well Diane

  12. Your Poinsettia looks great! And so do all the others! Love the hydrangea, orchid and gorgeous rose. My dad had over 200 roses in the backyard when we lived in Louisville, KY. What aroma all summer, just like yours! Take care and be safe
