A bridal wreath bush in bloom. It's planted beside the garden shed, which I cropped out of the picture.
Another variety of azalea. We have white azaleas, too, but I don't have a picture.
My favorite of all the pictures. The rosebush is a transplant from New Roads, where it grows and flourishes with little care. The bush does the same here. Grandpère stopped planting roses, because most rose plants require frequent treatment for black spot because of the humidity. However, we have two varieties here in Thibodaux, both of which came from New Roads, the pink above and a white rosebush, which grow and bloom well here without spraying. I'm guessing the roses are old varieties and not hybrids and are thus hardier and more resistant to disease than hybrids.
And last, but not least, the red geraniums in pots near the back door. They're beautiful now but will be less so in the height of the summer heat.
