Blooming Hydrangeas - Show and Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

Bathroom Color - Show and Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!






Again I'm sharing some of my garden roses!






These white ones are called "French Lace" and the peachy pink ones are called "Nancy Reagan".  The French Lace roses are one of my favorites and they are used often in bridal bouquets.
