Home, Sweet Smelling Home would be more accurate. : )) Between the Eden Rose and the overabundance of Sweet Alyssum the fragrance level gets a little intense when the sun comes out. This was shot early this morning following an overnight rain. Soft light courtesy of a partly cloudy sky.

Caught in that special sort of light that appears just before a storm is about to hit.

Only a handful of days have passed since I posted a shot of our Eden Rose bud, and now it's in full bloom. It's a flower that believes in the adage about how "if you've got it, flaunt it! " :)) This beauty is not what you call a shrinking violet.

Image is just about life sized.

Even before fully opened this rose is the star of our garden. It has now climbed up and over a pillar on our front porch so its annual pruning is now done from a ladder. which is not my favorite garden chore but it's well worth the effort.

Many thanks, Miriam ! ! ! Slainte !
