June Roses
'Dublin Bay' with lupine and Clematis 'Jackmanii Superba' on our front gate I hope the colors in my rose photos come out okay as I suffered an accident involving a tree limb and my eyeball. Day one was agony (and of course it would happen on a Sunday) but I am feeling better today and after seeing my eye doctor this morning, I feel a lot better. It actually happened on a good weekend as the weather is too hot to be working in the garden. I decided to work on photos I've taken over the past few weeks to recuperate and escape the heat. Of course, that involves working on the computer and in Gimp in which great eyesight is needed. Bear with me! 'Lady of Shalott' The roses got off to a late start this year because of the cool spring. It has also been wet which has encouraged black spot. Powdery mildew doesn't seem to be as bad this year. 'Alchymist' 'Mary Rose' 'Marie Pavie' 'Lady Emma Hamilton' 'Gertrude Jekyll' bei
It looks great! I love the pebble mosaics but no, I am probably beyond the stage where I could / would do it. Hurray for Michael. Hope he does more. Hurray for you, too, Phillip, for sacrificing your knees and back for a little while.
ReplyDeleteWell done you two! I'm with you and this kind of thing would really stress me out. How nice that Michael enjoyed the work.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I think it is great! I can't imagine being down on my knees for the time that it would take to make one of these. It sure looks like it is worth the misery. Carry on Michael...
ReplyDeleteThe two of you did a beautiful job! I'm suitably impressed.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool: I love mosaic but rather fear I don't have the nerve to try it. Maybe on a small scale, like a single stepping stone... Good to have a partner that push you a little and I love how you switched sides while working, mixing up your styles its just perfect. I'd love to see what Michale comes up with next.
ReplyDeleteBravo! It looks wonderful. Great that Michael has an interest and involvement in your garden, too. It's lovely to collaborate on projects
ReplyDeleteBravo à vous deux, excellent travail, le rendu est très beau ♥
