Susie's Garden - Second Report

This time of year, my friend Susie's garden is a pleasure for the senses: all these colours and shapes, wonderful scents, lovely texture... I am not going to wax eloquently. Instead, I will supply pictures of these visual beauties. Here is a quatuor of stars from Susie's garden:



First, a rose slightly askew, which is what attracted my eye in the first place. Peach delight.



Then a close up of lovely Columbine (Aquilegia), almost otherworldly.


And then, the extraordinary Himalayan Blue poppy (Meconopsis), a very rare treat.




And finally, a very sexy rose. There is no other way to describe this blossom. I am sure it has an official name, and I will be corrected. But right now, it is Very Sexy Rose.
