We took our two flowers, Lily and Violet, to Elizabeth Park today to see the Rose Garden in almost full bloom. The beds were full of every color rose, so we played I Spy with the color of the rose to keep a 3 year old busy. She found many shades of red, pink, yellow, gold, white and these almost purple ones called Midnight Blue.
The arches in the central garden were not quite covered with blooming climbing roses, hence the "almost full bloom" comment above. They may be fully blooming in a week or two. You can see them over my shoulder in the photo below.
The sun became really intense as the cloud cover cleared. We had to seek shade in the Shade Garden.
Lily found this area she called the "tree wood playground".
They were very old cedar trees.
A really enjoyable way to pass an exquisite June day while we await the summer solstice.
Also to celebrate a milestone birthday of my daughter, while teaching
her two little flowers
about gardens and gardening.
