Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!! Cool fan!!

Soooo pretty...the petals look very fresh!

Gorgeous as always, Boxo! The fan is cool but why on the fence?

I love your colorful bouquets, the blue and white add so much, they are so pretty. Your roses always look clean and healthy, not a blemish. Your Queen Elizabeth is so lovely, one of my favorites. Love the Abe Darby too, they are all gorgeous!

Roses and bouquets look great Boxo!

Thank you all so much :-)

Those are scorching temps. for Portland!

If Brandy had looked like that here It never would have left. Most floriferous and fastest repeating rose I've had. Alas, a brassy looking shade of apricot. And the dreaded rose leaf virus attacked. Abraham Darby was the replacement. Love your pics.

I couldn't help, OOhing and Ahhing all the way down the column.
Thank you for the lovely blooms and ignoring the scorching heat, to give us pleasure.

Even hotter for us in Seattle, Portland is usually +10-15 degrees.

I really love Brandy....almost buckles my knees. I think I told the story earlier about why I bought my first one. I backed my truck into my mail box facility one hot Friday afternoon just as a murder/suicide was being committed. The shooter decided not to include me but the owner was not so fortunate. She was a very close business associate who I generally saw several times a day for mail, money, and freight. Her name was.....
