I forgot to mention: all the way on the right in the “bamboo” picture, there’s a Lady Hillingdon rearing its apricot head. That one slept through its first year, but is creeping rather well right now.

Continuing: Munstead Wood; the side garden again; the house-huggers, Darcey Bussell I back and Memoril Day,pink. I truly love MD.
Continuing: Munstead Wood;

Sorry for the textual errors.
Continuing: Huntingdon’s 100th/Life of the Party by the front door. Flamingo Dancer,mthe climber from Burlington Roses that amazes me every year: Lavender Veranda, which likes shade; and a close up of the Memorial Day bush.
Things of beauty, sources of joy.

Last but not least: poor quality photo , but this is all one bush. Renae! It’s taking up the entire wall where I had originally planned to plant three of them (the other two are in pots. Still).
Yes, I know I need a better trellis solution, but we are prohibited from making any holes in the walls. The thing to do would be to sink posts in concrete, then spread wire … but I’m just coming back from six weeks of sciatica, during which I couldn’t even walk a block. Are we permitted to sink posts in concrete? Do you think I’m even planning to ask?😏

Sylvia, how lovely! I hope everyone sees your post. New posts aren't highlighted right now by houzz so they are harder to find.

Very beautiful, Sylvia! The ones that get my attention most is Dream Come True and the Flamingo Dancer. All are gorgeous but these are the "Pick Me-s" of the landscape.

Thanks. Sheila, is there sort of blaring trumpet emoji, preferably animated with sound effects, that could help boost my posts? lol.
Artist, I kept Dream Come True when I sp’d all the other HTs from the back bed. I love color-changing roses.
And stripes. Flamingo Dancer is just magical. Thorny, though ..
