Best Mother's Day Gift Ever!

 

This is probably not the view of my garden you are used to seeing, but I just wanted to share what is making my heart so happy this Mother's Day weekend!! 

If you've followed me for awhile, you know I lost my mom to cancer almost 10 years ago.  She was an avid gardener and loved her rose garden.  As a teenager, of course, I didn't really "appreciate" that, but over the years I grew to love her rose garden  and I knew that her Whiskey Mac rose bush was her favorite.  I tried twice to take a cutting from it, and it never grew.  I really wanted one in my garden, and looked and searched for nearly 10 years for one!

Fast Forward.. a couple months ago, my sweet hubby found a Whiskey Mac bush on ebay and urged me to buy it for Mother's Day!  I did.. it finally came a couple weeks ago.. we planted it... and I've been waiting.. and NOW, it finally has little growth spurts on it!! yay!

 

 

So yes, I know.. it's not very thrilling, but it thrills my heart to know that I will soon have a beautiful Whiskey Mac rose bush!! 

And as a Happy Mother's Day wish to all the moms out there this weekend, I will share 2 lovely bouquets I cut from my garden a couple weeks ago.. I love bringing fresh flowers into my home from my garden!

 

Blessings to you!  Have a wonderful Weekend!

You have beautiful flowers from your flower beds. I just love all the wonderful colors. No wonder you make beautiful cards with flowers on them. Keep up the great work. Love it.

Gorgeous bouquets, Patty! I can totally understand your excitement about your new rose bush. I don't have any bushes with such significance, but when I see my hard pruned bushes start to show new grow, my heart sings! I'm always afraid I've pruned them to death, but when he new growth shows, I know I haven't killed them and I look forward to all the future blooms I get to enjoy.
Looking forward to seeing blooms from your mom's fave. TFS!
