Flowers from my Garden

[Taikunping avatar ~ Julie Parry]

The builders had planted a rose hedge as part of the landscaping of the estate where I live. Over the years some of the bushes died, so I'm glad I got a few pictures along the years

One of my favourites for long flowering and perfume "Deep Secret"

 ~ think this one was one of the hedge roses as they faded ~

"Soft Touch" ~ I enjoy naming the pictures

One of my favourite things over the years has been photographing plants

"Side by Side"

Ahh yes your purple flower above we have that over here too,its a wildflower,its often very spiky,usually purple but there is a pink variety also,bees love it,so its known as a the honey bee plant,Vipers Bugloss aka Boraginaceae same family as Borage, it can grow as a low bush or a lovely tall stemmed bush,farmers hate it over here it poisonous to stock,it grows wild & self seeds like the thistle,so its seen as a weed over here..I like it just cos the bees like it big time..
