August Pinks

Lovely . . . "in the pink" Janey! I think two shades of a colour look very attractive together, like the basket in your pics 2 & 3, beautiful :)

I agree, you do have a lovely garden.

Wonderful photos, Janey.
Pretty pics :o)))

That was lovely, Janey. You've some beautiful flowers there, but I especially love your stone wall; such a perfect backdrop for everything. That lily is a real stunner!

Your garden is lovely in pink. My garden was mostly pink in May :o)

Pleased you like it Tuesday, the stone wall does make a lot of shade though....:((
Hi Hywel....it's funny how a certain colour seems to dominate your garden isn't it?

wow,beautiful garden:)

What a picture, every plant looks so healthy and in the pink, a wonderful garden, and I just love those dark lilies...

I think pink is my favourite flower colour. Your garden looks wonderful Janey. Jx

Beautiful, I love pink flowers..:)))

Gorgeous garden Janey....

amazing! Love your fuchsia...i am not so lucky with mine...drying out...too hot outside ( 90+ degrees) and not enough sun inside ( windows are tinted). I love your petunias! I have some and the color is so vibrant...purple!
Great job on your garden..enjoy!

Lovely pics Janey, I love your wall too ...in fact I love your garden, I may have mentioned that before lol. Funny about your hydrangea not flowering, one of mine has no flowers either. I do have one the same as the one in your pic and that's flowering beautifully too:-)

Absolute pinkish, lol. Beautiful views. Love your garden arrangement, must be nice to spend there a lot of time.
So this is New Dawn rose? I have heard about it, I was even looking for it, but I did not find it. It looks really great. My favourite here is Compassion rose. It is even perfect photo :)))

All my favourite summer colours Janey ,I can only echo what everybody else has already said your garden is so pretty packed full of delightful plants and colour , I have always loved your walls and with the plants as an added attraction it looks spectacular :o))

Hi janey, your garden is lovely , I am very envious of your rose compassion, I have one in a large half beer barrel, its been in about two years but have never had more the three flowers at a time, about six through the season.whats your secret. all your plants look really healthy

Well what a lot of lovely comments....thanks everyone!
Thank you Shahida, Dd and Jane, yes I'm liking pink more and more, it goes great with lilacy blues and greys doesn't it?
Thanks Michaella and Moti, Garden4,yes it does sound like your temps are too high, I have the fuchsias in the shade and they are so thirsty too! The petunias are full of flowers this year, they've been late with the cool wet weather and have really come into their own now,
Ike you I love the vivid colours....:))
Aw thanks Ba, hydrangeas can be temperamental can't they, I bet next year, it'll be the other way round....:))
Glad you like it Katarina, like you I prefer the Compassion, even though the ND seems to flower forever, it's a bit pale for me, and Compassion is budding up again!
Many thanks Amy, we are lucky to have that wall, even though I don't think it's great for Feng Shui...:)),it is lovely stone.
Thanks Taz, this Compassion was bought off EBay as something else, and like yours for the first few years had just a few flowers. Then it seemed to really take off and with the rain this year has been flowering all summer. I have the cherry in front, which I thought I may move, but the Rose has pushed it's way through quite happily . I'm wondering if your rose would be better in the garden where it could have a cooler root run?

I think the combination white daisys with the Landini lily is smashing. I am definitely do this next year. Went to the Dr. today, and he said "you are still quite young", I hit 78 this year. So am planning on some new plants as of next year's blooming. When you get as old as I am, you think, i've enough in these gardens. But New Dawn I will have to try again, yours is so inviting. Our gardens are suffering the opposite, rocket high temps and no rain...

Thank you Wells! Don't forget 70 is the new 50 so that makes me 40 .....lol! New Dawn is a fabulous Rose Wells, when I look at my Rose arch, it's the only one still flowering away! Compassion still busy, and it has beautiful bronze leaves......I think my favourite one. I see you are in Vermont, we usually get your weather when you've finished with it....:)) that may mean a long hot late summer, I wish!
