Garden Tour at the Cape House #2

Good Evening, everyone. I was busy over at "the little house", as we have named the Cape house, due to the fact that the Inn is called 'the big house." :) I thought I would show you some progress in the gardens. Things are starting to bloom. The roses are still budding, but not too many blooms, yet. I am going to repost and link up to Cindy at My Romantic Home and Show and Tell Friday.

I planted my new yellow rose bush today.
The Beauty Bush

The Beauty bush makes a canopy


The mini iris's

The daisies are starting to bloom and bunny

My new weeping rose tree. I will take pictures






periodically so you can see the progress :)






Along the drive







The window box is bursting with color!








A closer look...









The wisteria is ready to explode with blooms










The bassett hound is napping :)

I hope you are all having a great evening!

  5. beautiful gardens.
    Is that Beauty Bush, the same thing that grows here in TEXAS, so named by Lady Bird Johnson?
    It looks gorgeous, but doesn't appear to be the same thing... I'm curious!

  6. You are way ahead of us! The wisteria here isn't even yet in leaf! Your window boxes are going to be lovely - mine are still full of cedar and holly. Time to clean them out and plant some brave flowers - it snowed here today!
