It's early evening, with a soft breeze and dappled light coming into the room. Outside the window, I look at this Emily Carr rose bush (named after the artist) and can't believe how rapidly it has grown. Although only planted last year, as a gift, it is now about three feet tall, even greater in width, and almost covered in these bright red blossoms.

The rose is so delicate and beautiful,what a nice inspiration for you. What type of lavender is that? The blooms are lovely and I bet they smell heavenly.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I must start recording things! I planted this a few years ago, and I think it is Munstead, one of the English lavenders. After just picking a few pieces, the scent is lingering on my hands.
ReplyDeleteI love your roses. They remind me of the ones my father grew. I can still smell them in my mind. Judy
ReplyDeleteJudy, I'm glad the roses brought back such a pleasant memory for you!
