Compact but gorgeous Campanula. I have always dreamed of someday building a small walled coutyard with roses on the walls and your walled garden is inspiring.

Cheers, Rick

When will ZD bloom for you? I love walled gardens. I always think of them as secret gardens and have always wanted one also.

Very nice.

I'd love to see a similar view later in the spring (assuming you haven't moved) when the roses are blooming. I think it would be a spectacular shot.

That is such a neat view. Love it. The walls and all make the space.

Love the arbor and the courtyard. I could putter there endlessly.

Also love your clothesline. My children thought I was strange when I insisted I had to have one a few years ago. When I was young, hanging clothes on the line was one of my two favorite chores. I enjoyed being out in the fresh air more than doing some grungy cleaning chore. I left that to my sisters. My second favorite chore was ironing. Most people say they hate to iron, but I'd set everything up in the cool basement and iron to the tunes on the radio. I could hear mama upstairs getting after my sisters to get on with their chores. Ahh, peace and music. ; o )

That's a lovely scene, Camp! Your garden looks ready for spring.

lou_texas, the scent of sun-dried cotton sheets is nearly as sweet as roses! :)

Here's my view from the family room. By sheer fool's luck I put Belinda's Dream at the end of the path, and a fortunate choice it has been. The Acer was a two-footer (60 cm) when we planted it.

Top view, Hoovb - Your garden has a very well furnished look - very lush, obviously loved. One of the gardens I ALWAYS look forward to seeing, along with Sherry's, Ingrid's, Daisy's, Marianese's and a couple of years ago, there was a woman, Celeste, who used to post from somewhere cold (not Cali) - I loved her garden.

Beautiful view, Hoov. BD is one of my favorites also.

That is pretty much what ZD looks like around here, too, Camp. Don't feel bad about it. You're getting much more proficient with your camera. Congratulations! Kim

LOL, Lou, I used to do the same thing; iron on Sunday afternoon and listen to the "Top Ten" songs of the week(won't say how long ago this was!). And, yes, nothing smells quite as good as fresh sheets off the line...

Even though I see so many improvements that I feel are necessary, I still enjoy the view from my bedroom window.
Camp and Hoob, thank you so much for posting the window view photos! Hope we see many more posted on this thread.

I love Everyones rose gardens! Everybody seems to have a theme and puts so much money and pretty mix of annuals in their! Mine is what I think they call informal- no color scheme , most bulbs in a seperate bed, roses put where I can stick them- don't care about color clash- just love roses! But I do love all the pictures ya'll post. I have just rose beds, the only other plants in their is lavender, chives, and a couple of bulbs that my mom gave me that I cant remember the name of, they multiply like crazey, so I just pulled up the new ones that try to come up!

This is a great thread----Camp--You know how much I love Zeffy---that is a great way to display her beauty---
I love these views from inside---
view from my kitchen sink-----Petunias in the window box and Lyda rose---

The view from the kitchen window above the sink in late spring. Not many roses out yet, only a moyesii Geranium on the far left. It's still small and can't compete with Campanula's monster moyesii. We love this little wood although the neigbours' house can be seen beyond the trees. It's small but we can pick bilberries for a few pies in it.

This is the view out the back door this morning (same view as from the kitchen sink). Roses nearest camera are Westside Road Cream Tea on left and Mrs. Herbert Stevens (young) on right. Visible behind Mrs. Herbert Stevens, on right side of path, is Mme. Antoine Mari, then Gruss an Aachen and, mostly not visible, Le Pactole. On the left side of the path, it's Fred Howard, Gruss an Coburg and Etoile de Lyon. The path ends at a little lily pond.

I love seeing these views!

Florence, I think you may have been my inspiration for getting Lyda rose. I hope mine grows up to look just like yours. Debbie

Inspiring pics, everyone. We have some very gifted gardeners on board.

Beautiful gardens all. Very inspiring and you should all be very proud of them.

Debbie---I've been very happy with Lyda Rose---I bought it because I love the song from the movie "the Music Man"
Your garden is gorgeous---the paths are very inviting--I feel sure Lyda Rose will be happy in your lovely garden-
