Stunning Flowers!

I promised my husband that I would post a few pictures of his cactus that are in bloom now.  The flowers only last a day or two, but look at the color on this one.

Here is a photo of our Bougainvillea's in bloom.  Really spectacular this year.

Canna's

Walking Iris (Neomarica )

The bloom only lasts one day. I have a few more buds but it won't be long before these beauties are gone for the year.

A few photos of a bouquet I made for myself yesterday, just because I am worth it!

Dark pink is 'Melody Parfummee'

 Variation in pinks is 'Queen Elizabeth'

Pink rose on this side is 'Dr. Bob Harvey'. Also here is Verbena, Penstemon, Borage, and Salvia's

 

Stripe rose is  'Cherry Parfait'

 

Darker pink rose on right is a climbing 'Gertrude Jekyll' a David Austin rose.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
