So it’s been awhile since I have posted – too many things going on and not enough time – but I was determined to post this weekend. And Amy’s topic this week is definitely a fun one.
I’ve already gotten tons of pictures of flowers the past week or so – reds, yellow, pinks and blues – that it was a little hard to decide which pictures to post but I finally decided to share these beautiful “Lady Bank” roses.
Several years ago my father had this huge Lady Bank shrub that totally claimed ownership of one side of his fence. He gave hubby a cutting who then planted it right outside our back door. I thought we lost it when Hurricane Matthew came through several years ago but it has come back beautifully and gets bigger and bigger each year.
There are so many different clusters of blooms and no two are identical. Since they are located at the entrance of our breezeway, they move constantly so it takes patience – and sometimes a sweater!- to get the perfect shot.

I wonder if I have a photo of the same shrub in my post. Or is it camelia?
