West Seattle Flowers and Roses


When we moved into the West Seattle house - we had no idea what the yard would look like once Brian got finished with it.

Years of neglect.......vicious climbing ivy EVERYWHERE! The previous tenants planted veggies along the front yard fence (I've never been a big front yard veggie garden person).

We cleaned out the wild rhubarb and tomato and Brian planted a cute little azalea and another rose.

With all the warm weather we are having in Seattle....the established rose bloomed and bloomed BIG TIME over the past few weeks. It smells wonderful (I have no idea of the varietal) and it's a beautiful bright pink.The front planer box is going crazy with geraniums, sweet alyssum and scabiosis or pin cushion flowers. We decorated it for the 4th.
Enjoy!
Stacy
