Hello Dave,

what a beautiful, colorful blog. When I see those beautiful flowers and colors, the more I long for spring. Here it is now cold, wet and gray. It's part of but I'd rather just imagine in your photos here.

The flowers and colors in the blog below cheer me up completely.

For you and all your loved ones around you, a beautiful, healthy and photogenic 2012.

Greetings, Helma

Super gardens.... I think I'd like to take my lunch and have a picnic in the rose garden.... I bet there's a lovely fragrance in the air on a sunny day.

I like the frame, do they have creepers growing on them

How often do you do there?

Dave said...

Shammick, yes, I think there would be. They are older-type roses.
Ann, I don't know what they are. We go there quite often - Dave

The gardens are stunning, so much rich colour. I guess all the rain has served them well.

Dave said...

Pieces of Sunshine, thanks for calling and your comment. Yes, perhaps the rain has helped the plants - Dave
