In Bloom

The fragrance in the air here the past few weeks has been more heady than any perfume.

    beautiful! The 4th picture, what is that flower called?

    That’s Climbing Iceburg (an heirloom rose). They cascade over my fence all summer long.

    What a very lovely summer (soon) garden. I’d never go inside.

    I do my best not to. :)

    Beautiful foliage and grounds around your farm. What varieties of roses do you grow? They are spectacular. ( I am green with envy as most of my roses are suffering from black spot this season) Thanks for the tour!

     Just two climbing roses; Iceberg and Blaze.

    Ooops. Have another querie…the tree with the white blooms. Is this a wisteria? And what kinds of Iris are you growing? The scent of certain Iris reminds me of a luscious candy my Grandmother had from England. Heady!

    The tree is a Black Locust. They grow like weeds around here. We are loaded with them. Their scent is truly heavenly. Almost like a very soft, light Jasmine. When they are all in bloom, it’s really something to see.

    And Irises? I have so many kinds I don’t remember all their names — Bearded Iris, Japanese Iris, Jitterbug, Merry Madrigal, Rhapsody in Bloom are some of them. I have a variety that smell like grapes but I don’t remember the name. None that smell like candy that I can think of though.
