This is a sterling silver rose, my cousin had this type of rose in the bridal bouquet at her wedding where I met my husband. It has a very sweet smell which I love. To me, a flower without a scent, is like a pretty girl with no personality!A new addition to the garden this year, I like the relief of white flowers next to the purple.
I love my irises, they are 5 years old and going strong.
Another new addition, they are called "bell"-somethings and are a welcome relief from petunias which bore me. (Sorry, petunia lovers).
This post is dedicated to Anna, a young mother and lover of all things purple, who will be missed this Mother's Day and is everyday.

Love love love your color theme. Beautiful header!
thanks. I'm glad that others remember her too.
I grew up in West Los Angeles and it is interesting that I first saw a sterling rose when I was a teen there. However, I had coral peach roses at my wedding. I agree that the sterling has the most wonderful smell. I am not sure if I have a sterling but we have a lavender rose bush now that smells great. I too love purple flowers and am fortunate to have them in my yard.
I am sorry about Anna.
Happy Mother's Day and I hope you enjoy it doing what you want to do.
This whole yard of mine is incredibly boring. I wish I had some of your pretties to perk things up!
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
that top rose is gorgeous!
happy happy mothers day!!
Oh, beautiful flowers!!! Thanks for sharing them. I also love your technical names (bell-somethings...wonder if they'd know what I was talking about at Home Depot?) :)
Happy Mother's Day!
Love the flowers - just beautiful.
All so pretty... Happy Mother's Day! :)
I agree that flowers must smell pretty AND look pretty!
So sad for Anna, but a nice rememberance.
