   Good on you Leticia for showing the initiative and sharing these photos, and I hope it does brighten up the day of your mom, Yanet. Love the black pansies with yellow and purple centres! Is your mom's rose, 'Just Joey'?

   My goodness, Letitia and Yanet, the first rose pictured looked like a mini fireworks display...it has such an exuberant color pattern. It makes me feel like lighting a sparkler and and going "oooh" and "ahhh". It's so nice to read that gardening is staying an important part of your mom's life and it sounds like you, Letitia, recognize how special it is to her. She has many beautiful flowering plants and they are valuable medicine along with whatever the doctors prescribe. Happy 4th of July to you and all my gpod-ers.

   Lovely photos indeed. My only suggestion would be to remove that red hummer nectar and replace with home made (1 cup sugar + 4 cups water, boil 2 minutes, cool and use. Store unused portion in the fridge in a clean glass jar). Feeding hummers colored nectar is not necessary nor recommended by the National Audubon Society, as color and preservatives are not good for our beloved hummers. Hope you make the switch today.

    Leticia, what a thoughtful thing to do for your Mom. Her flowers certainly should be featured here------they are gorgeous. She obviously has a green thumb or two and her flowers reflect her expertise and ongoing care. How nice for her that she can find enjoyment and respite while working out in the open air and sunshine.The last picture of the Rainbow Rose is wonderful----a beautiful color combination.

    What an interesting collection of plants you have: black pansies, ketchup and mustard roses...never heard of either of those, but they certainly seem to enjoy growing in your yard, Yanet. Thank you for posting them which makes this site all the more educational for us. Your pink mini rose looks incredibly robust growing up into a tree. I've always loved seeing old roses blending in, rambling around instead of being trimmed into a tame predictable shape. And your red roses look all the redder backed by deep green-- just lovely! I hope you spend lots of time enjoying your years of garden labor. Also, seeing not one but two umbrellas in your garden has given me the idea to put mine up to shade me when I weed. Thank you!

    How great, so full of color and flowers.The garden can be such a restful, pleasant respite and seems to always keep some hope alive. There's always something that going to bloom or look better or get bigger!

    What a special treat on the Fourth of July to see an explosion of color and beauty coming from a well loved garden. These photos wonderfully show your passion, Yanet, your flowers are magnificent. It's pretty obvious, too, that your garden isn't the only thing you tend to with love... Leticia, you are the most beautiful flower of all. You both are very fortunate to have one another.

    Yanet, your garden is so colorful and impressive and Leticia your photography shows off your mom's hard work beautifully. Thank you for brightening up this rather dreary 4th of July morning out here in WA. I hope you have many more happy years playing in and enjoying this sanctuary that you've created.
