Again, what a slice of paradise you've created. I really like the stone steps, but who is your little helper? : )

Very nice! Is that an astrolabium on a pillar? The Dark Desire is captivating!

Beautiful pictures!

Can I come and live in your yard? I will deadhead and weed.

Seriously, so fabulous. I everything that you have created. And Dark Desire, gorgeous.

Vaporvac- thank you! That's my little Avery cat..she acts more like a dog though haha

Thank you Sara-Ann and Kristine! Dark Desire has proved one of my favorites. (It's a deal for some BS control assistance haha)

aplysiac_5b- it's an armillary sundial..in basically in love with it!!

Oh my gosh do I love your garden !! And I hope you don't mind but I followed you on Instagram as well. What an amazing woman you are!

how long have you had Desiree and what do you think of it ? I had it .. but it never bloomed for 3 years ( I have absolutely no idea why ?' ) so I had to remove it. If you can share more photos of it I'd be grateful . Lovely garden!!

Lilyfinch- I don't mind at all! lol you're too kind...just an average person trying to live a remarkable life :-)

I've honestly only had Desiree for a few months so I can't speak to her at all yet (also why I'm SO pumped to see this bud open haha) I will certainly keep you updated about her!

Lilyfinch-check out Desiree open! *swoon*

Definitely swoon worth

nice garden, must of took a lot of work

Desiree is gorgeous but Morning has Broken is one I've had my eye on. Beautiful pics and space!

Kristine- I can't wait to see how it matures!

Modestgoddess- oh definitely!..hopefully it's worth it LOL

Ziyakr- it's been an easy rose to grow so far...pretty maintenance free. And thank you!

Desiree positively glows. I think the peachy apricot colors tend to have the gorgeous glow from within. I can't wait to see how it does for you.

Oh to have a spot like this....little slice of heaven on earth! Your pictures are great!!!
