Magenta bougainvillea

I have a bougainvillea standard (little tree) that I take inside each fall. Here it is enjoying the sunshine on our patio.

Colorful papery bracts enclose the true white flower of the bougainvillea plant.

Tropicana rose

This year the Tropicana rose and other roses in my front yard are much happier than last year. I’ve been using Dr. Earth fertilizer and it seems to make a huge difference. NOTE: I might be in error on the name. I think this is Fragrant Cloud. Tropicana has more pink and yellow.

Rainy rose

We had drizzle the last few days. The new plants got a break, the established ones are still thirsty, but the roses became bejewelled. NOTE: I am going off line for a couple of weeks. See you all when I get back. Check back early June for more pretty pictures!

Foxglove macro

The foxglove (digitalis) is blooming well this year. A little fertilizer doesn’t hurt, either.
