Thanks @PolkaDot and @anniem.  Glad you liked it.  I'm happy you didn't ask if it smells nice because it's a very modern rose with absolutely no scent at all.  Generally I like roses with scents, but I wanted one out by my driveway and picked the yellow one because it was on sale.  It is called Gilded Sun.

Hm a rose without a scent. I don't know. I walk past a rose bush when I take the dog out daily, I LIKE the scent!

Lots of the more modern floribundas have been bred for hardiness and color, but not scent.  Thankfully the older heirloom varieties still have a nice rose scent.  I'm like you, I love the smell of roses.  My bars of soap are usually rose scented.

Nice!  I also like the scent of lilacs.

Last year I purchased a potted Poppy plant that, despite my best efforts, proceeded to dwindle and die.  At least it looked to be dead.  I could sense a small spark of life in it though, so I transplanted it into a spot out back.  Winter came and I forgot about it until this spring when I was surprised by this poppy bloom.  It almost seems grateful that I saved it.  I can see kind of a happy face on it.

I've been neglecting this thread. Here are my Japanese Wasabi Radishes (not real wasabi) from a couple of months ago. Good both raw and fermented.

I have a few basil plants and some cilantro growing.

The pots in the back are some of the 6 white oak seedlings I started this year.  I gathered some acorns from the huge trees along a nature trail in Silver Spring, MD in November. I wintered them in the fridge in a ziplock with some moist cotton.  Then I planted the sturdiest looking 6 acorns once they sprouted.  I didn’t have enough dirt in February. I need to repot them soon.
