My garden in spring...

I have to say I love me some antique roses (which reminds me, I'm ordering two more at least, to fill in where the buddleia died last fall.) I love them because I don't fuss with them, prune, spray, or otherwise interfere-- they're just sturdy, strong and beautiful all on their own. They're "antiques" because they're very old strains, usually, and often found in cemetaries and old houses long abandoned. Low maintenance, just my style.

Also, my amaryllis bloomed beautifully. I wish they had more of a scent. Virtually everything in my garden is scented-- jasmine, osmanthus, buddleia...
