| Jason, I bought these seeds from Select Seeds. I bought them as Lauren's Grape, but received mislabeled seed of different variety. Still like it a lot, although I really wanted Lauren's Grape. Marina |

| Oops, forgot to tell you that there is another source for poppy seeds - One Stop Poppy Shoppe. Marina |
|
| Thank you sooo much! your poppies are awesome! |
|
| Er... Roses is what I ment to say was awesome... |
|

| OMG, your photos make me drool like my dog does when I am filling his bowl. The colors of your roses are fabulous. I would never come in from the garden if I lived in your place! |
|
| So Gorgeous Marina!!! Beautiful photography and roses. I especially Manuel Canovas, Rotkappchen, and Blue for You, and that Magnolia is drop dead-gorgeous, so hilarious and ironic that they call it Teddy Bear.... That ain't no Teddy Bear. It's a Swan Lake of a Magnolia. |
|
| So many lovely pics, thanks for sharing. Great pic of Bouquet Parfait. |
|
| Love your photos--the Rosanna rose is a new to me--I'm fascinated by it! And thank you for the Lady of Shalott picture. I have a new plant of her--in bud but hasn't opened yet. I'm really looking forward to seeing her bloom like yours. Blue for Your--love it. I assume that is its true color, but so unexpected. I've never seen roses that color. Lots of beautiful roses here. You ought to be busting your buttons! Kate |

| Mary Magdalene did me in. Then I saw your urn with strawberries. How lovely- everything you post is so romantic. I love your photos and your garden and your roses. And your magnolias and poppies, too. Renee |

| Wow, so many great responses! Thanks, everybody!:) Serena, you are so right about Teddy Bear. Kate, I would highly recommend Rosanna. I have three plants of it in the garden, two are growing as free standing bushes and one is trained as a climber. The latter performs the best! Loads of long lasting flowers, the only drawback, they don't have any fragrance. Renee, this is my second plant of Mary Magdalene. The first was planted in less than favorable conditions and didn't perform well. This is new bush, planted this spring in a different spot, and what a change! The bush is full and well proportioned, with lots of flower buds. I am really glad, I gave this rose another chance. Marina |
|
| Lovely, Marina! I like that Rosanna! |
|
| You take such amazing pictures. I always look forward to your posts because I know I'll get a feast for the eyes. :) |

| Seil, Brittie, Bustopher, thank you very much! Marina |
|
| LOVE Malicorne...I looked and HMF and nobody here appears to offer it...but I love deep reds! Also really like Blue for you. I can't get over how much more pink your Bouquet Parfait is than mine! Mine is almost completely white! Tammy |

| Outstanding photography of the plants in your dreamy garden, Marina. I'm very happy that you treated yourself to walking around and photographing them. Needless to say that your treat is our treat as well! Thanks so much! :) |
