Mostly Teacups and Roses

six teacups

For this Six on Saturday, on the eve of the Summer Solstice, I plopped some flowers in teacups. I have a little collection, and they seemed appropriate vessels for the day.

Lillium 'Lollypop'

While five are filled with Roses, this teacup showcases a 'Lollipop' Lily (Lilium hybrid), just starting to bloom.

Rosa setigera

Next, I included the hope of things to come, with buds from the Prairie Rose (Rosa setigera).

unknown rose

This unknown, bright pink Rose (it was here when we moved in and unmarked) seems to deserve a ring of gold.

'At Last'

The reliable 'At Last' Rose (Rosa x) is a lovely bloomer and has an amazing scent.

'Oso Easy' Double Pink

'Oso Easy' Double Pink (Rosa x) has a cute little garden personality.

Fred's 'Sweet Mary'

Finally, Fred's 'Sweet Mary,' hybridized by my great-grandfather, is a fragile bloom with a very pleasant, sweet scent.

That's it for my "six" this week. Thanks to Jim at Garden Ruminations for hosting! Happy summer!
