Pretty in Pink: Scenes from my very own Landscape Bliss™

As I walked around enjoying the beauty of our blooming landscape today, I noticed a recurring, unintentional theme of pink. I decided to photograph a few to highlight the beauty and variety of pink at our place. It was fun, so I think I will dedicate more days to "the color" in my landscape!

Bright pink Impatiens nestled among Purple Queen. The Purple Queens shows signs of the recent hail damage.


A soft pink rose


Carnation pink roses grow along our rear-entry driveway; their color reminds me of the Crayola brand crayon color Carnation Pink


The colors of this rose, the soft pinks, yellow, and orange hues remind me of a sunrise.


The pink bloom of the Purple Queen is a beautiful and delicate accent to such a hardy plant!

In Bloom This Week!

The pansies are still beautifully in bloom. I love looking closely at the gorgeous design of God's creation, the texture and colors are simply amazing.


The roses have begun to bloom, but they are about to burst forth in full glory.


I can't seem to capture the true color or size of the roses in these photos. The red roses are quite fragrant and they are huge in size!


Gerber Daisies and Purple Queen provide a decorative accent to this tree ring out back!
