In the Pink

February 18, 2007 by Tricia

Here’s a photo of one of my pink gladiolas from this past summer. It’s blossoms aren’t quite fully open in this photo.

I love the multiple shades of pink that you can see on each petal. From deep dark rose to the palest of pink. Isn’t nature amazing? You’ve got to wonder how a blossom can develop with so many shades of one color and have them blend together so perfectly.

This is why I love my garden. There’s something so simple, yet so absolutely amazing to look at each day with wonder.

The Red Lily

I’m looking forward to seeing Red Lilies and all the other flowers I grow in my garden soon. Yes I know it will be several months before this happens, but I can still look forward to it can’t I?

The red in this photo is a bit off, perhaps a little too vibrant. I took this photo a couple of years ago with my older Pentax Digital camera. That camera never quite got reds and oranges right. Now that I have a newish digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-H5) I know I’ll get some great shots of my red and orange flowers this summer. It does just fine with all colours.

I hope that everyone is having a nice weekend. Valentines day is only three days away – perhaps you’re doing something nice today since Valentines is during the work week?

This is one of the roses that I grow in my front flower bed. Obviously it’s not blooming right now. It’s covered in a couple of inches of snow, and it’s freezing outside at -16 Celsius! That’s cold!

Since it’s so cold I’m trying to remember why I was complaining about the heat last summer. I think I’d rather be too hot than too cold. Easy for me to say at this time of year isn’t it?

I’d rather remember the beauty of these “The Fairy” roses right now:

Instead of looking outside and watching the snow fall!

It’s been snowing here since Friday, and while I’m kind of glad that it is snowing and covering my plants – which protects them a little bit from the harsh cold, I’d much rather that it was spring or even summer right now.

Just look at those pretty roses! I can’t wait until spring when all my plants start to poke their heads up out of the earth or begin to grow new stems and leaves. It always seems like such a miracle after the cold of winter.

My garden in the summer

Alright, you can see pics of my pseudo ice garden above. Are you having fun at the blog party? I hope you are! Have some champagne!

Now that you know what my garden looks like in the winter when I do it up as an ice garden *wink *wink I thought I’d show you what it looks like in the summer.

These photos are a few years old. My garden is much more mature now and the plants average at least four feet tall:
