Blooms!

Here's a glimpse of some of the beautiful blooms we've been enjoying in our yard the past few months...


The gardenias added fragrance to our dinner table!


Blaze of Glory climbing rose - we hope to have photos next year of blooms climbing up the trellis...



 The zinnias have added so much color and joy to the house this summer, and the butterflies love them!











and...


Our mystery plant, the crinum, popped up through the soil from it's bulb this spring (a gift left from prior homeowners). We've anxiously awaited to see what color it might be, and 2 weeks ago, it unveiled the mystery!
