Flowers of Newport

Along our walk, we saw lots of beautiful flowers...

Peonies:

And roses - lots and lots of roses that just begged to be photographed:

Some pansies in a planter also caught my eye:

These were really thick and pretty, but I don't know what they were. They covered a large area. The sun on the white didn't make for the best photo, though:

I don't know what these were, either, but they were dainty and cute:

Update: The flowers above have been identified (thanks, Kris!) as Evening Primrose (top) and Hardy Geranium (bottom).

These newly planted begonias are already pretty, but they're going to be 'gorgeous' when they really get going:

Yep, I helped plant those... and can't wait to see how they look in a month or so! I have it on good authority that the hydrangea bushes we planted are putting out buds - yay!

The woodruff we planted behind the hostas below is hopefully going to spread and fill in a good-sized area. The tiny white flowers smell divine!

I told Jess she must give me progress reports on how everything is doing. Maybe she'll send some lovely photos I can share with you. :)
