This miniature rose survived yesterday’s rainstorm.

Miniature Rose Revival
Someone left a few dried-up mini roses in three-inch plastic pots at the edge of the garden fence, but they didn’t seem entirely dead so I repotted them into a slightly-larger planter trough and have been watering them regularly, and a week later they’re showing signs of life.
Bees & Burdock
The burdock is blooming, and the bees are busy.
Pink and Purple Blooms
Our garden got badly parched this summer, but it’s managed to bounce back a little as temperatures have dropped from their peaks.
Budding Hibiscus
Our hibiscus shrub (aka “Rose of Sharon”) is getting ready to flower for the first time this season.
Burdock In Bloom
I love the thistle-like flowers on our burdock plants!
Foliage Fenceline
I’m really pleased with the way the grapevines and little trees soften the edges of the otherwise-drab fence and stairs in front of our buildings.
A Classic Rose
The roses are really having a productive season.
Tower of Honeysuckle
The honeysuckle seems to be happy about having been repotted into a larger container at the start of the season, and is throwing out even more of its crazy flower clusters than it did last year.
Roses Are Red
A plethora of roses in our sidewalk garden.
