Summer is Here!

Where has June gone? Is it almost over! Summer is here in New England USA and all the flowers are opened to welcome her.

I can’t take enough photos of all the beauty around the yard and in the neighborhood. Some of these flowers are too fleeting to even capture. I missed out on the tulips, daffodils and forsythia. They are already gone. Sigh!

I did capture all the roses that are blooming beautifully around our house. They are in all their splendor. I hope you enjoy these pics. They are even more gorgeous in real time.

One of our oldest rose bushes still producing many fabulous flowers!
New bush with a fantastic pink rose with a different kind of leaves.
Another old rose bush that produces plenty of beauty for us to enjoy!
Newer rose bush with four flowers and more coming!
Our first yellow rose!

The fabulous yellow rose above was so heavy its stem could not support it so my husband held it up for my photo. This year he purchased four new rose bushes and in different colors too. He knows how much I love roses.

Here are some other flowers that grace our circle and yard.

begonias
geraniums
lilies
rhododendrons
petunias
More petunias

With all this beauty around us I hate to see them go. We have had so much rain lately – almost every other day it has rained heavily. Some of roses are bent over as if they are weeping along with the rain.

I caught these photos in between the rain drops. Of course we do need the rain in order for these flowers to flourish. I would like to be outside though to enjoy them. Oh well, I snapped plenty in case they fall over from the rain.

I am thankful for all the lovely flowers and even for the rain. I hope you enjoyed walking around my home to view my plants. Soon my rose of Sharon bushes will be producing their own crowns of glory for me to share.

Thank you for stopping by to view my flowers. Please stop by again for more posts of interest to share.

    Yes I love strolling round other people’s gardens and here in Old England our weather has been much the same. But flowers with raindrops make good photos.

    There is NOTHING like a New England summer- I am overwhelmed with memories every time I think of it! How lucky I was to grow up there.

    Your flowers are gorgeous! Mine were doing so well, but then we got so much rain some of the leaves on the plants turned yellow. Then, the deer came and ate my begonias, portulaca, and the flowers on my hostas (but not the plants themselves). Then they nibbled on my hydrangeas. I love deer, but not so much when they munch in my yard, 💕🤗💕
