Our rose bushes have tons of roses popping on them. From the patio which is about 75 feet from the bushes you get huge whifs of roses. Reminds me of walking in Crabtree and Evelyn.  |

So pretty! We have a huge lilac bush, and when it is in bloom, you can smell it from anywhere in the yard! BTW, I love that store.

I truly hate yard work, but love the results. Our yard has been pretty minimal the last few years. Some azaleas, Japanese maples, hostas, rose bushes and elephant ears. Then a small veggie section with tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and zuchinni. But I'm working up the motivation to start adding more. I'd love some raised planting beds along the back fence at different heights.

My clematis is growing quickly. It was in a large pot that sat on the side of the house. I was sure it was dead. I put it in the sun and watered it for a few weeks. It currently has 20+ purple flowers ready to bloom. Unfortunately we got 10 inches of snow on Friday. It has been in the garage since then. I am ready for blooms and great smells.

Had to go out and get a shot of one still on the bush. It's so gorgeous outside today. Next project is to power wash my filthy patio next weekend so we can enjoy it.  |

My former home had a huge wisteria in the backyard. The first thing in the morning I would go outside and breathe in the wonderful perfume, the smell of spring.
