Bloomin' Tuesday

It's Bloomin' Tuesday at the foot of the Colorado Rockies. We returned Sunday from our trip to Sandpoint. While there I took a few photos of the beautiful flowers in my mother-in-law's flower beds. It was so lush and green in northern Idaho...

We have had unusually wet, unsettled weather in Colorado recently. As a matter of fact when we flew into DIA on Sunday, Denver was under a tornado warning. Trust me when I say Disneyland has nothing on the ride you get when you fly into Denver during a summer thunderstorm! Anyway, all this moisture has made this corner of Colorado a veritable Garden of Eden. This week I'm featuring a few of my roses that started to bloom while we were gone. I'm sorry that I don't have the names for them. I don't pay much attention to names when I select roses. I let my nose and eyes do the talking. If a rose catches my fancy in color, shape, and fragrance -- she's in! Here's a sampling of these beauties...

I can't help but show off my bougainvillea. She's in heaven with all the humidity we've had in the air...
