An actual flower bed this time, but a small one.... We call this one "The Rose Garden," which is pretty much a deliberate joke. It does grow roses--there are four rose bushes in the little circle--but only one of the bushes is consistently pretty. I talk about doing some serious work on this bed from time to time, but never get around to it. The pole supports the red & white birdhouse the swallow was inspecting a few days back. There are a couple yellow tulips, too, though they didn't work out well this spring. This flower bed used to feature a nice chrysanthemum, from my mother's funeral, but it didn't make it through one of our winters. Since the mum was one of the original plantings, this bed dates from 2003. The annuals change radically from year to year, and are usually the bed's best feature.

Explored! #274 (July 10). Thanks! (No longer in the top 500.)
