It’s Friday and that means it’s time to check out the flowers. Most of our flowers have finished blooming and the various planted wildflowers are still kind of thinking about blooming. For a minute I thought I’d have to share some recent watercolors I’ve been working on. Boy, are you guys lucky that I walked around to the side yard and found this. Perhaps this Canadian scrub rose is ‘rioting’ at the recent decision of the US applying tariffs on Canadian imports?
Here’s a closeup. Isn’t that pink exquisite?
Here’s wishing you a super-duper pink Friday and an even better weekend. Happy Father’s Day to Dad’s everywhere.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Wowzers, beautiful.
Isn’t that beautiful! Can we get that here in the US, or will we have to pay tariffs to do so? 🙂
{snorf} Good question. Sadly, this day and age, it’s a possibility. 😕
A nice polite rose, eh? Pass the poutine and maple syrup, please.
Pinkie paw up, please. 🙂
Oh these roses are beautiful Monika! Do they come in other colors? We have some bushes over by the cars that look the same as yours but flowers are yellow. I used to say they were Wild Prairie Rose…someone said I was wrong…now I’m not so sure! LOL 🙂
(((hugs))) Sherri-Ellen & Siddhartha Henry <3 <3
We had a bush similar to that when I was a kid that mom said was a wild rose. It was orange and yellow.
So I was right…it is a rose bush!! thanks for the clarification….
Great color. Reminded me that during our trip, saw something I’ve never seen before – 10-12 feet lilacs.
Yup, that’s not uncommon here thought mostly they’re in the 8 ft. range. Nothing quite like a hedgerow of them in bloom-talk about paradise.
Oooooooo! Those are FABulous!!!! Ma doesn’t knows how it happened, butts she was watering all the plants today, and realized that almost all of her flowers are PINK! She didn’t do this on purpose, or maybe she did, who knows, she’s a little wacky anyways. BOL!!! I thinks those have every right to RIOT! frickin’….waits, I’m not supposed to repeat what Ma yells at the teevees…..
Kisses,

Funny how our gardening minds will lean toward a certain color. Bet your garden is gorgeous with splashes of pink.
Such beautiful pinks!!!

We’re big on the pinks and purples in our garden.
your flowers are beauteous!!
Why, thank you very much!
Wow, those sure are “rioting”!!! Their color is absolutely amazing! And your joke made me laugh. They have every right to riot over our administration’s treatment of Canada.
Among many other things. 😈
These flowers are more than magnificent! I have never seen them before and I live in Canada. I want one!! I could hide behind it and smell the flowers.

LOL, I figured all Canadians had Canadian scrub roses-they tolerate the cold so much better than finicky hybrid and tea roses.
Do they have a strong scent? Perhaps they are what we call wild roses.
Not really but then again it’s been so bloody hot. Still it’s a lovely delicate scent.
Wagnificient!
Pawfect pink 💜

Thanks, we’re big fans of the pink.
That rose is just super!
Thanks. In a season of unbridled heat it gives one hope that maybe things will be ok. Course a few nice rain showers would contribute to that as well. Have a good weekend. 😊
Canadians are always a bit late to the party. I’m 100% kidding – it was just too easy a joke to pass up!
They just know how to ‘pace’ themselves. 😉
They’re gorgeous! But your watercolors would have been fine with me, too.
Trust me, the flowers are far better! LOL 🎨
My goodness, those are beautiful!!! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Many thanks. They sure make me thankful! Have a great weekend and thanks for swinging by the Ranch. We 💜 visitors.
They look beautiful!
Thanks. Seeing them in such glory was a lovely surprise this morning.
Indeed!
That is all the flowers you need in your yard…how magnificant.
And luckily one of the easiest to maintain. Water and deadhead. That’s it. Love those scrub rose bushes.
That’s beautiful…love Floral Fridays!
Thanks, it sure burst into bloom overnight!
The rose is so full of roses! It has very beautiful pink color. Does it have fragrance?
Have a great weekend!
Kosmo
It’s got a very subtle fragrance but may be because it’s so bloody hot. It might smell more in cooler temps.
🐬 how is it I can smell your fragrant flower pics?…..
A scratch and sniff screen? 🖥
Definitely pretty in pink😀
Lovely. I took a picture of some Rhododendrons recently because they were such a pretty pink/purple colour. I know they’re technically a weed but I couldn’t resist.
Ooh, I love Rhododendrons but think my soil is too alkaline and they’d probably scorch in the sunny conditions.
Around here those flower plants are called rabbit food.
Don’t think they’d like the thorns. Even most of the birds avoid the rosehips.
When they get desperate, they eat cactus.
Whoa…now that’s desperate (but understandable).
Wonderful floowers! Unfortunately we can’t have (m)any, because the deer would eat them. Well, instead of looking at beautiful flowers, we LOVE watching the deer. It’s as much pleasure.
Have a great day,
Pit
Do they even eat them when they have thorns? Yes, watching the deer would be just as pleasurable. Enjoy those fawns this weekend!
They are quite adept at just getting around the thorns and eating the flowers!
Eek! I guess there are pests in everyone’s garden. Mine are squirrels.
Well, we – of course – will never consider the deer “pests”. This “honorific” is reserved for the raccoon [at least we believe it is one] that always throws down our birdfeeders from the trees and quite often damages them.
We have a few raccoons here too but they aren’t nearly as bad as the squirrels. I think ours are too chubby to cause too much mischief. Then again I don’t have bird feeders so maybe they just avoid my yard preferring to hit easier pickin’s.
Our squirrels are harmless. It must be a raccoon. Squirrels wouldn’t be strong enough.
Ours are gangsters. They’ve eaten through coaxial cable. Sounds like your raccoons belong to the same gang as the Denver Squirrels. LOL
mobsters everywhere?! 😀
Yup. Used to think they were either The Crips or the Bloods, but now think they might be part of La Cosa Nostra!
So beautiful! Our deer would have dinner on that!
They probably would enjoy the thorns as seasoning. 😇
They don’t seem to mind the thorns here. 🙁
Wow! They sound like our hoodlum squirrels.
Now that’s a thought! 😀
Wow love the pink! Very pretty
Thanks, I love those pink roses too. So cheerful and when deadheaded, they should bloom most of the summer. 🌹
