The 32nd Outdoor Wednesday ~ August 19, 2009


Please click the logo above to visit Susan's blog
and see the other participants.

Welcome to my blog ~ here are a few blooms from our August garden. I hope you enjoy!












As I zoomed in to take a picture of a climbing rose bloom, I was very surprised to see this little fellow perched on a clematis leaf about 4 feet from the ground below. :)



You may not be able to see the true color of this rose named Juliet; it's actually a smoky brown ~ very striking in person (and fragrant!) It is a David Austin rose.
Psst... can you see the little garden fairy hiding in the photo?



A farm near home ~ where you can pick your own corn ...




and create a fresh bouquet, too!


Happy Outdoor Wednesday ~ please leave a comment so I can come visit and leave a comment on your blog, too.

Last but not least, thank you again Susan for hosting Outdoor Wednesdays!!

  1. Hi Mari!
    The color of that rose is spectacular! I don't believe I have ever seen on this color. Oh how I would love to gather a bouquet of zinnias! I used to grow them with ease in TX, but they don't seem to like me in FL... They are my favorite cutting flowers!

    Have a super rest of the week.

  8. I'm not participating in Outdoor Wednesday but I love to visit here! Your photographs are all so fabulous!
    We used to have so many rose bushes, but this year none of our plants are doing well at all, not even the potted ones!
    It's nice to be able to come here and get my 'fix' for pretty!
    All the best,
    Eileen

  15. As always, your photos are wonderful. I used to have roses also, but the deer have made it impossible to grow them any more, much less any other flowers. They are beautiful creatures, but I do not like sharing my plants with them. I have over and acre and cannot plant a garden because of them. So, I come here and enjoy your photos. Thank you for such lovely work. Judy

  23. Hi Mari,
    Thanks for commenting on my blog. I thought your name was pronounced Mary but one never knows and I love your spelling. When I came back to write this I saw your roses again and I must say they are more beautiful the second time .... if that's possible.
    Have a great day.
    The other Mary ...rose :)

  25. Your roses are spectacular, as are your photos of them.

    I love the little frog sitting there. I was just out on my porch watering the plants and all the little frogs were "singing" to me. They just love hiding out in the orchids and bromeliads.
