Portland Rose Test Gardens

On Monday, after our horrible day on Sunday, we decided to take a walk over to the Rose Test Gardens.  It's row after row of beautiful roses of all kinds (and a few other kinds of plants too)...

  3. Oh, the last picture of the dark pink Myrtle is nice, those are in bloom here right now. They are very common here, lining streets, in yards and in the city. They are very nice and come in quite a few colors.
