Loving my flowers!

 I'm working on a new vignette in my back garden.  I purchased this clock at TPT and I hung it on the fence with the Boston Ivy.  My little lion from Rogers Gardens was moved over to this spot and I bought two new David Austin Roses: Abraham Darby and Mary Rose which I hope to plant here.  I'm letting them sit in their pots for a couple of weeks while I determine if they are getting enough sun.
 The Abraham Darby is a beautiful pink with a apricot center.  It smells so good.  The Mary Rose is not open yet, but should be all pink.


 This scabiosa is flourishing.  Last year Gus ate it down to just a little stub and it has come back in full force.  He no longer seems to be interested in it, thank goodness!
This is my William Shakespeare rose.  Also David Austin.  I love it.  It is just opening in this picture, it is such an intricate rose with a wonderful fragrance.
Enjoy!
