More roses each year and flowers in the morning garden

The roses in the garden had been producing more blooms over the years. I recorded the roses and German irises as the flowers of that morning.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

From about five blooms to too many to count

The Pierre rose I had bought as a leftover potted plant had only about five blooms at first. It flowered more each year, until that year's blooms felt too numerous to count and the stems had grown much thicker.

Flowers that would not fit into one frame

The flowers wouldn't fit into one frame, so I took the first picture from the upstairs balcony. The German irises had also increased each year, to the point where I felt they needed support. I began by recording the garden flowers that morning.
