First Responders

Posted by Heidi in the lusty month of May

I love my flowers--they're some of my very best friends.

As if this wasn't enough, I have about 400 rosebuds about to burst into bloom at any second.

Be still my beating heart.

I missed May Day this year--in recompense, I have posted this video of Julie Andrews singing The Lusty Month of May from Camelot, one of my all time faves.

Nobody does it like Julie.

Below that are pics of some of the first responders (first to bloom in response to my pleading and cajoling) in my front and back gardens. Enjoy!

Queen of Sweden--again. What can I say? She's the Queen.

The Mary Rose, Coat of Many Colors, White Iceberg, Abraham Lincoln

Nothing smells better than orange blossoms. There are things that smell as good, but nothing better.

My rain soaked Abraham Darbies. Poor babies.

The orange Coat of Many Colors fades to this gorgeous soft pink and yellow. I lurve them. Orange is a coveted color at Halloween but an orange rose that obliges me by turning pink . . . there are no words.
