  1. When I think of your gardens, I always see rich and subtle shades of purple. Your candy colored irises, and now your smoky baptisias are so beautiful... you make purple look so wonderful.

  7. You are so right - it is like Christmas (and lasts a little longer). Your garden is gorgeous, thanks for the beautiful pictures! I love the look of Hansa with baptisia - that's the look I am trying to achieve by planting salvias and penstemon with my roses :).

  8. You have shown some of my favorite flowers. I love baptisia. 'Hansa' is my favorite rugosa rose. Mine lost a huge trunk last year so it is in recovery mode.

  14. Your garden is looking just beautiful. The third picture in is my favourite- the sunlight on the baptisia with the pink hansa roses in the background is magical.
