Big Yellow Irises and Multicolored Roses

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!

My husband pleasantly surprised me today by taking leave and making a day trip to Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. This was our first visit to the park and we took the nature trail first. When we visit in the future we'll spend less time on the nature trail and more time in the aquatic gardens section. I'm planning follow up posts featuring photos of a) flowers b) an adorable goose family c) other wildlife so be sure to check back again soon if any of those topics interest you.
