While traveling through Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria, we often remarked that it was green like Oregon. I am sure the people there could use the same phrase we said in Oregon, "If you plant it, it will grow." We truly live in a beautiful world!
Bulgaria is famous for its roses but they were beautiful in each country.

| Every home had a pretty little vegetable garden |
 |
And flower boxes.

 |
Irises
|
 |
Geraniums - beautiful on their own but especially so with this backdrop.
|
 |
Wisteria - always makes me think of graduation ceremonies and school parties at Benjamin Franklin International School in Barcelona where there was a huge plant on one side of the main building.

I've always loved ivy growing on old buildings. Reminds me of this song and takes me back to high school graduation.
Oh, we love the halls of ivy that surround us here today, And we will not forget though we be far, far away. To the hallowed halls of ivy, every voice will bid farewell. And shimmer off in twilight like the old vesper bell. One day a hush will fall; The footsteps of us all Will echo down the hall and disappear But as we sadly start our journeys far apart A part of every heart will linger here. In the sacred halls of ivy, Where we've lived and learned to know That through the years we'll see you in the sweet afterglow.
