Liza - I love your photos! All of your flowers are so beautiful and healthy.
I have only discovered clematis a couple of years ago, so I only have a few. Your's are amazing! Not to mention the roses! As much as I love roses, I only have one climbing rose... a William Baffen. They are so gorgeous, but I've found that with our humid summers they are very suseptible to black spot and powdery mildew that I have not planted them. My beds are very full so they don't get enough air circulation to stave off disease. I envy yours!

I love your comments!25 Jun '06 10:01 am
Dear friend, thank you for your comments! I have to tell you I was also going to respond to your Diary with your latest blooming , delightful news! What to say : that I loved your happy Coreopsis and Daylilies! The carefully created borders, where one feels the good taste and personal decorative style! My Lilies are not in bloom ,yet, my Coreopsis just starting blooming. And you know why? Because our climate here is less convenient than yours at the moment for Lilies and Coreopsis...
What I mean is, don't worry about Roses behaving difficult in your climate; because other treasures adore it! And you have plenty of other treasures! Please, send us a picture of that lovely new border , full of newly planted brilliantly red Dayilies! Remember you had them by your window , and they were starting blooming inside, just with their root system in water?? Well, I just want to know how are these treasures doing! I will check up your Diary, in order to know their news!

As long as it is OK to in love with your beautiful flowers, Liza, and out of love with those in my own garden! Not that there are many flowers, but everything looks coldly blue, and the only nice things I seem to have are green. But I am not in love with green things - they get taken for granted!

Winter nap..25 Jun '06 9:36 pm
Oh! Don't be sad, our dearest Head Gardener! You just know , that they are taking their Winter nap, your adorable garden creatures! They are only wearing their ...green pyjamas...or just disappear in their underground bedrooms.. And when the Spring Celebration comes,.... hopps! They'll be up , dressing themselves in their best, colourful, shining clothes ever!! This is the best and most joyful play our Mum Nature plays in our gardens!! Oh dear! How I love this ...hide-and-seek, wait-and-see joyful play! So! Just wait and see!
In the mid-time, I prepare some bright, shining, of whitest white garden creatures for you all! They will brighten up even more the non-stop Spring of your hearts!

The purest of whites...28 Jun '06 8:51 pm
Guess what! Right now I'm sitting in front of my PC having my baby grand son, Philippe, by my side! I just explained to him, I'm going to send you some more of Divine Art! Not like him , of course, but that's another story...You just look what I mean among my photos, by looking at the ...human Divine Art, when I was about to wake him up this morning...
Well, where was I! Oh, yes! The white Divine Art in our gardens! You know what? I have realized so many times, that the colour white functions in our gardens like a large mirror in --let's say-- our living rooms! It adds space and light, brightness! The colour white in the garden turns other colours even more bright , playing the super contrast! And a white blooming plant is the best solution for a sober corner in the garden, or when our view point is quite far from a white flowering plant.
And , of course, apart from all these, the pure white is the expression of innocence, spirituality, the pure love and affection....Like the one I feel for baby Philippe...Just look what I mean:
PART 1 : The colour white in the garden and a human Divine Art!

Oh my...your grandson is soo..oo cute and adorable, sweetly asleep with his fluffy white companion Beautifully captured. Congratulations, my dear friend and may he bring much much joy to your family! How many months old is he and how many grandchildren do you have, if I may enquire?
Another awesome series of your lovely blooms! Enchanting white ones, delightful to view when clustered in abundance and amongst others! Thanks for sharing, my dear!

Second part : the whitest Divine Art...28 Jun '06 10:15 pm
The plants you are going to see here, are so common ...darlings in many gardens around the world ! So much loved everywhere, brightening our spirits and our hearts.
If you need to pose a gardening question on any of them, I am at your disposal. But they are so lovely and healthy, ....and scented!
And, dear Jacqueline, he is my very first one, from my first child, Alexandra. He is 1,1/2 years old. His mama works hard in London at the moment, and should be without him for a while. I am doing what all normal daughters' mums do, I guess...
