OMH. (oh my home!)--Flowers Edition (front garden)

Ack, these are the roses and misc. i photo-ed that are in the front of my house
 The first red rose this year! Well, the first red rose in the front garden, not including the gate...I can't wait till summer, when there'll be more red roses. It smells like a real rose!
I also have a raspberry-ish colored rose, but it hasnt bloomed yet. That smells like a real rose...
 These pink roses are delicate: just a little touch on a full-bloomed one nearly destroys the whole flower!

 Salmon-ish-colored roses. They smell nice too.


 This rose changes color. In a few days, it'll turn a reddish orange color. Cool, huh?
 The only healthy white rose that is slightly yellow. At my house, we have two white-rose colors: yellow-white and pinkish-white. The other one is pure white...But, those are small and will fall apart with a single disturbance...This is the yellow-white one.
  My whole front gate is distinguishable by these roses. It's just a whole bush of them. The bush is taller than the gate...
Can you believe this was the only hybrid flower in blood in the front? O.O
 These are geraniums--my French teacher emphasized in explaining these flowers because it would amaze you how many ppl think that all flowers are either sunflowers, roses, or lilies...
These things have a very pungent smell...it's honestly really gross smell. Oh, and there's some Thai chilis!
 These are star jasmines. Right now, they emit this HEAVEN smell. They usually bloom in the late spring and summer. They're a winding kind of bush and they're winded around my pine tree
 White roses...These are healthy, 'cuz, usually, the white roses die out and have brown, withering parts on them...There's a whole bush, but I didnt want to get near it because there are just TOO MANY LIZARDS. (EEW!!! D:<)
 My mom built this pond. We have koi...and only koi

 Yes, she built the waterfall too...
 There are flowers lining the pond. She planted them. My mom actually built the pond from an abandoned jacuzzi and an older fish pond. The lower part, where the koi are at, is the jacuzzi. Amazing, huh? She's superman. She's actually responsible for the whole garden...except for mowing the lawn...
 I have no idea what these are called, but they were pretty, anyways. :D

Those white flowers (they're actually a very faint purple) are african daisies, and they're EVERYWHERE in my yard...especially in the back. My house is known for its roses, fruits, and african daisies. Oh, and leeks (a type of onion)!
