My Golden Chain Tree

I planted this Golden Chain Tree several years ago. When  I Ordered it, it looked like a little "stick", but I planted it just the same. Now, each Spring, I can hardly stay in the house when it's in bloom! Take a look at these pictures, and see what you think!

The long blossoms hang down in a cluster that looks like a Wisteria blossom. The bees and Butterfly's love  it!  Deer tend to avoid it.
I'm always on the look out for interesting trees to add to my yard and garden. It's hard to find a yellow flowering tree, so when I saw this one I knew I had to have it! I think flowering trees add a lot to the landscape. The trick is planting them in the right spot.
This one needs a little protection from heavy wind, so although I know it would look great out in the Rose garden, I planted it close to the house.

My rose hedge of Theresa Bugnet is blooming nicely:

It's so nice to see color in the garden! I love the "old rose" fragrance of these roses.
Can you see the nearby Lupines blooming also?

I have several colors, and can't really decide which ones I like the best! (or how I got so many colors? I'm taking pictures, so I can save seeds and know which colors they are!

Isn't this a great color? Sort of Peachy-Red. Lovely!

I have plenty of these Purple/Blue ones, but it's actually surprising how many different shades of purple and blue there are.

I plan on saving Lots of seeds this year, and having them For Sale on my web site: http://www.allaboutrosegardening.com/ by next year. (it's in the planning stage) right now.

Do you save seeds from your garden? If you do, you should keep them in a dry container (an envelope works well) Be sure to label it with the variety and color. And FYI the best place to keep them is in the fridge. It keeps them from drying out, so you know they will be o.k. to plant next year.

You can save a lot of money by starting your own seeds. Need more advice on  Starting Seeds? Check it out, and start saving them This year to plant in  Next years garden !

Happy Gardening!
