Black Rose for Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th to my fellow Non-triskaidekaphobiaites. In addition to Friday the 13th and the celestial alignment of 4 planets, my black roses are also in bloom. I love unusual roses like these black velvet roses and my Julio Iglesias roses*.

Mellow Yellow Monday "Around My Garden"

Welcome to Mellow Yellow Monday, a celebration of All Things Yellow.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of my cheap therapy and workout program aka My Garden.
I recently installed a rock and flower garden with roses, agapanthus, and alyssum.
Day Lilies are perennial and thrive on neglect. My kind of flower.
Here is White Alyssum, Yellow Cornflowers, and Blue Cosmos. (Doesn't Blue Cosmos sound like an alcoholic beverage? Blue Cosmos for me and my girlfriends, please. Gosh, let's invent the drink if they haven't already.)
All done trimming my roses to prepare them for another rounds of blooms.

Thank you for sharing in the Sunny Delight of my garden.
