When all of the Contensts is transferred, new pages will be created to introduced the new additions.

In the old garden rose section, I will be adding Louise Odier, a bourbon rose I found this year.

Rose Collection

Old Garden Roses


I am updating and moving the old garden rose pages.
The first is Alba Maxima, it may not repeat but the blooming period does last about a month.
I have enough English roses and grandiflora for the rest of the season.

Indian Chief

Irises


Indian Chief is one of my oldest irises.
One of the first passalong plant I received after I moved to my present home.
I never featured it before even though I love this iris colours.

The shades are often described as deep red for the falls.
As an artist, I see the falls as dark fuchsia.
The standards, moderate crimson.
The two go very well together.
