The first water lily of the season.
It loves the bright sun.
Won't you come into my garden?
I would like my roses to see you.

My Joseph's coat climbing rose has so many beautiful blooms right now.
Can you spot the little visitor?
I hope you all are having a great weekend! I'll be back later with birthday pictures!
Your flowers are absolutely beautiful. You could make them a bit larger and they would be beautiful desktop wallpapers...hint, hint....

I always wondered what that rose was called -- the Joseph's Coat. It has the most beautiful shades.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.I imagine your garden is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have roses now so I guess I should take some pictures, but not today, it's raining!
I love the water lily it is so pretty. And what girl could not resist a rose. Such pretty colors.

Great pictures! Do I see a lady bug? I too enjoy lady bugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI love the delicate pink of your water lily. Mine is sort of a creamy white and also in bloom.
Your roses are lovely. Bet they smell just great.
Have a wonderful birthday celebration!

Isn't it fun to see things in bloom? I'm loving my iris which are going nuts. Also, my first bachelor buttons of the year have bloomed. Oh, and dandelions, those are in bloom, too! No roses yet, though.

Your flower pictures were lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Phillip! He and my Jamie share birthdays. We are celebrating on Sunday as well. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.
Kelli - your flowers are beautiful! You take such wonderful pictures. I think your garden is about 3 weeks ahead of mine - we are nice and green, but there are just a few things in bloom. I will have to go out before the rain and see if I can take a picture or two! I hope the rest of your weekend was a delight!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

ReplyDeleteThe picture with the ladybug is so cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I hope one day I find the secret of a nice clean pond. It was green when we got it, maybe a good clean is all it needs.
