A few flowers that are blooming across our yard.

Red Rose July 18th.
I'm really happy how this rose turned out. This is a "Winnipeg Parks" rose, I got it from Walmart this spring on sale for just $2 It is one of the hardest roses there is. when I got this rose it was all bloomed was all bloomed out, But I read that your supposed to pinch back the dead flower heads after they bloom, and they form new flowers. I would like to mention, This will help produce more flowers, but this practice should not be done after August 1st. otherwise you risk messing up the natural process of the plants way of preparing for winter.


Here is a flower I picked up from a Walmart sale This flowers common name is "balloon Flower" I will see how this plant takes the winter. It's supposed to be a perennial

Here is another picture of the lilies, I did not get a chance to show a photo of the Yellow lilies because they were not blooming yet, so I added a photo of them now. I like the yellow and orange together
