| Well we survive Earl, fairly unscathed here in Nova Scotia. And it is a beautiful sunny, not too hot, not too cold sort of a day here today.So I thought I would share some of the latest arrangements from my garden with all of you in the hopes they will bring some sunshine your way.

| Carrie, these are exquisite! I think you could put together some gorgeous bridal bouquets. How wonderful that you have so many beautiful roses blooming in September. I'm having a hard time trying to keep everything from frying in the heat. Thanks for these lovely pictures. Ingrid |

| Beeoootiful!! |

| Carrie, I don't think I've ever seen anything lovelier - really. Would you mind sharing the information regarding which roses you grow and what is your secret to having all of those gorgeous blooms at this time of year? I live in Central New York and, other than a blanc de Coubert rugosa, I have absolutely no roses blooming. |

| Thank you everyone!!! Patreesh, This has been a good year for my rose, lots of sunshine. Although I am fairly new to gardening, this is only my fourth season. I just jumped in with both feet. So to be honest, I don't have a whole lot to compare to. But I can tell you what I do. I feed once per month from May to July. I give all my egg shells, coffee grounds and banana peels to my gardens year round. And of course I water them from beneath regularly. And of course many bloom in flushes so it's a bit coincidental that so many are in bloom right now. I have; Pascali, Hybrid Tea Sexy Rexy, Floribunda Rose Belinda's Dream, Shrub Rose The Fairy, Polyantha Rose I hope this helps. Carrie |

| Just beautiful! Such soft, romantic colors. I also like the dark red hollyhocks(?).The 8th bouquet with the hollyhocks and lily is the loveliest shape. |
|
| Just beautiful! That nigella looks interesting in the last bouquet. I've never tried growing it, but it probably wouldn't like my heat here. |

| I'm very envious, I can't grow those roses here in my zone 3 garden. Happy gardening. |
|
| Carrie, They are amazingly beautiful. If you aren't paid to do this, you should be. The bouquets are perfect and the topiary is so cool. Thank you, Kitty |
|
| Exceptionally refined and artful arrangements, Carrie. You are very talented!! Thanks. :) Debbie |
