    Congratulations on the pics. You've inspired me to try (again)
    Beautiful blooms! I always love pinks, whites, soft colors. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks lily! If you mean you are going to try posting, I can tell you how. I never thought I'd be doing it. There were several nice GW members (carol23, scully931, and solstice98) who took the time to email me how. They did this a while ago, and just today I decided to try it. Really wasn't hard. :)

    Lovely pictures. What rose is that? It looks like a David Austin. I am just getting into growing DA roses and seeing someone with great results in my area gives me hope that DA roses will do well in Alabama. I currently grow floribundas and Hybrid Teas.

    Glad you can now post pictures. Keep them coming.

    Congrats on the first picture posting!
    So cottage-y too! Your roses and peonies are divine. Are those carnations or "pinks"? Yours look so healthy. I can never keep mine looking nice for very long. But I keep buying more because I love them so much! Perfect pairing with roses (nice scent combo too).
    Thanks for showing- make sure to post more soon! ;-)

    Wow thank you all so much!

    Faye, The rose is 'Queen of Denmark', or 'Konigin von Danemark'.

    CMK, they are cottage pinks. The deep pink is 'Rose de Mai', and the pale/whitish one is 'Inchmery'.

    Yes, pink is one of my favorite color in the garden. I may be a guy, but to me it is the essential cottage garden color. :)

    Beautiful roses and peonies! I love the Queen of Denmark...I've thought about trying that one and now I might :)

    What type of peony is that? It's just lovely!

    LL, Thank you! I love Queen of Denmark. Try her and you will not be disappointed. Disease proof, drought resistant, heat tolerant, heavy blooming for a long period, good vigor, and more. I must warn of the thorns, though. However, the fragrance that you should be able to smell across your yard will make up for them.

    Anyways, the peonies are just your typical Sarah Bernhardts. I planted them the first spring I moved in, and even with barely any water or fertilizer (and being moved once in the early spring), Those two plants have reliably bloomed lavishly.

    All very pretty, but the peonies are to die for. I have never seen one, except in pictures.

    It is too hot here.
