Alley garden

This is the garden on the alley side of the house.

Cleomes

I am pretty excited to have a patch of cleomes in my garden again.  I haven't grown them since I moved to Portland.  Back then I had big stands of them.  This is more a small patch.

The big rose in the photo above is called Commitment.  Here it is up close.

I love the black undertones that make it glow.
