A wild Rose,I only keep it while it's blooming ,after that it will be cut down.
My Peonie is very sparse,it's been here since before we bought the house,about 40yrs.
I have no idea what that BIG white flower is

Ah Chico2--you're my best friend.

I'm so fond of roses! My Blaze bush is in full bloom right now! My hybrids are a little slow and what buds have come out, shriveled with the chilly evening air. :sad:

Ironically--I have one of those big white flowers too!

Great pictures Chico2!

Your roses are beautiful, chico. I could use some of your skill with them--the only thing hazel seems capable of doing with roses is killing them...

Love the big white flower, too! I take it he's feeling 100% again?

Your flowers are very pretty, especially the peony. And the BIG white, unidentified flower.... very cute, they must spread, because I have one too.

Hazel,yes my favorite big white flower is doing good,back to normal,with a naked bum

I too love Roses,have about 10 bushes all together,some do great others not so great.
The white Kennedy Rose I bought last year,is not doing too good this year:sad:
I have a feeling this is going to be a bug-year,lots of Aphids and other kinds

I have to say - I absolutely love that furry white flower!. I have tried to grow one but came up with 5 different furry flowers that will not let me sleep in peace - pretty loud flowers. And by the way - what is the flower name for that white flower?

The big white blobby flower,together with the others,know a good thing when they have it
But seriously,we are outside with them and they've been trained since kitten-hood,not to jump any fences.

They are all really good kitties,when hubby claps his hands they all come running inside,very obedient.

chico...do your kitties give lessons on being obedient?

I tried a harness on Willie, but he always managed to freak out and get out of it. I keep trying to figure a way to build a screen enclosure for them in the backyard.

TQ,I think it helps that we always had a lot of time for them and now and now being retired even more so.
We've always done this with our cats,the 3 we had before,were the same.
Of course we have a high wooden fence on one side and a hedge and fence on the other.
