As gardeners there are any number of things we love about this country not the least of which is the freedom to enjoy our passion and share it with others. Here are a few examples from my passion place. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking and God Bless America !!!

Here are two bouquets I recently shared..... the first with my lovely bride of 42 years and the second with an adorable little 5 year old neighbor who squeals with delight whenever she sees me out gardening, she requested one :-)

Sheila's Perfume

Midnight Blue and Summer Ice

Great pix. I'm loving that double sky-blue clematis, even though I almost always prefer singles.

Some of the roses I planted in my "adopted" cemetery are roses introduced to memorialize 9/11: 'Forty Heroes' and 'Survivor'. I will post pix when I can get a good shot. Hybridized by Ping Lim, they were not widely marketed, but are included in the several rose gardens dedicated to 9/11.

Boxofrox your photos are so lovely ! I love all of them and think it's so sweet you generously share your blooms with everyone !! Your hydrangeas are spectacular . I have been keeping my eye out for a glowing embers since I saw your photos .
Jim , if u catch this , I used to live in pa and the year of 9/11 I was a camp counselor at a camp in shanks ville ! The property was so close to the wreckage , we had to not use certain trails because there were government workers collecting various " artifacts " from the plane , and could be seen there. We didn't want to scare the children . It was quite surreal .

Such glorious flowers Boxo!!! Wonderful!! Since I have no roses, because of the snow storm and cold weather - I really miss color. But your pics are a shot in the arm!!

BTW, I bought a Firefighter rose this year. I think of 9/11 whenever I look at it.
