Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!" I'm always excited when my honey scented yellow irises start blooming.

 They smell as nice as they look and we've already had some bees enjoy them too.

 This week also marks the start of heavy rose blooming season. This yellow rose has a soft scent.

This is our very first orange rose bloom. I think I planted it last spring but we didn't have any flowers until this week. Better late than never!

This hot pink/red rose is one of about five bushes and they usually put out flowers through frost.

As you can see, it's a great week for Maryland flower gardens. I hope you have some lovely gardens in your area too. Thank you for visiting! May God bless you!
