Come and smell the flowers in my garden! It is a beautiful morning here in Florida, the temperature is perfect at 79 degrees and the sky is blue.
There is still some dew on the leaves making them sparkle in the sunshine.
ENJOY!

You have a gorgeous garden. Lots of very lovely flowers and you took some fabulous photos.
You have such beautiful flowers in your yard...Thank you for sharing such a wide selection of bright colors with me today....I'm still waiting on mine to start blooming
Getting hot here in Oklahoma...93 yesterday and today is starting out hot too
Absolutely lovely! :-) Have a great Sunday!

awesome pics
Lovely photos Rose! Your garden looks so beautiful. Peace be with you also.
Thank you for posting your photo essay at Pretty Pictures.
Too you also, Rose. My Godmother is doing much better. I am thankful.
Diane - that is excellent news:)
you have such beautiful flowers in your yard.
You've got the most beautiful garden...consider yourself one lucky lady! Thanks for sharing the bounty with your Gather pals.
Christine - I do - I do ... consider myself one lucky lady:)
Rose, as usual, your flowers are lovely. I don't recognize the fifth one down, white with large leaves. You must live further North to be able to grow roses. I live in Palm Beach Gardens and we have many beautiful trees and flowers. The Royal Poinciana trees are just starting to bloom. What a splash of color! Orangy-red clusters make one sit up and take notice. Keep snapping!
Marie - the fifth one down is a jasmin variety. The other two shots that look like roses are all from the same bush. They have a lovely scent and the bush had a tag that said 8 ft tall by 8ft wide - it's working on it. Right now it is about six foot tall and six foot wide.
Last time I visited the Florida Botanical Garden in Largo - they had a full grown specimen. I think they give the landscape an old southern feel, wish I had bought two, I've never seen them again anywhere.
Everyone always thinks they are gardenias or wonders if it is a rose:)
Rose, beautiful sentiments, shots and your garden is beautiful.
Phil - THANK YOU. I really appreciate you stopping by to look at all my garden and flowers pics:)
Beautiful flowers!
Rose - perfect name for you - and you're Queen of that lovely garden - those flowers are the jewels in your crown. Love each of these amazing shots esp the bougainvilla - haven't seen that colour in a while! Salud
Wow. What a beautiful garden. Your photos are always perfect Rose. Loved it. Excellent job as always.
I could almost catch their scent.
Thank you for showing them.
Pretty images from your garden this morning.
I always look forward to your posts. Love the garden tours. Your flower photos are stunning as always.
You've outdone yourself today Rose. You've captured these beauties at the perfect moment with the morning dew still on the petals, enhancing their beauty. How very uniquely beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do this before!
Thanks so much for posting to my group.
Very pretty. I hope you had a lovely day!
omg, Rose... these flowers spoke volumes to me... thank you soooo much for sharing on a gorgeous Florida Sunday morning.... (even if i just saw it after midnite) LOL
necee - my friend, you are always welcome - midnite or morning:)
What gorgeous flowers and lovely sentiments! This made my morning much brighter, thank you!
I particularly like the quote about digging in the dirt... so true!
Lovely photos, as always!
