oohh, love that one. I bet it would grow well where I'm out. must keep an eye out for one of those. Is it a perinial where you are angleblossom?

Here's a few of mine...(wishing I had a better camera)

weidilia just starting to bloom. I got these late last summer and was warned they can be invasive. I'm keeping my eye on them. they're said to bloom most of the year.



trumpet vine? not sure of the name. they grow wild here. I've been looking for them around our property for several years now. Yep - got some this year!



my ex neighbor gave me these. she called them fan tails. my aunt says they are gladiolas. I saw some glad pics a while back on this forum and the leaves were totally different. my leaves come up in a fan shape?



patch of wild flowers. hubby says 'you missed a spot' when I mow around them. I think they are beautiful! they make great cut flowers,they last for a solid week.

Wow, those are fantastic ! I love the mexican firebush, so cool.
And Cricket, I do the same thing with the daisies, mow around them, too funny!

I can't believe you've got bloomers that I have to wait until fall for.

Here's what I got going on right now.

Mandarin lights azalea:

Great pictures of very pretty flowers Cricket and Mel!!!

Cricket - that IS a trumpet vine - it took 5 years for both my orange and yellow ones to bloom - they say that is the nature of the vines.

It's also a gladiola - a very pretty one too!
And your last picture is black eyed suzies I'm pretty sure - looks like mine.

Mel - I love your rock garden!

Cricket I believe I read the Mexican fire bush is hardy to 20-30 degrees but it can be potted and brought in side over winter and will still bloom inside Your patch of black eyed susan's look great!! and yep that a glad' you have there

Mel your rock garden is awesome!

Cindy--it the Blooming fine #18, after the photo's I had posted, you asked me if "that was sharp" i think I set up the pictures wrong--the sharp looking plant is the Eryngium---"Sea Holly"--although the color I have is supposed to be sapphire blue, I will not know for sure until it blooms.

And yes it is pointy----Emily said, as she was planting it for me,--"MOM why would you plant this---do you know how much of it I just pulled out of MY yard??/"---

so I do hope it is not overly invasive---

If anything looks that good at our place, I wouldn't dream of mowing it down - don't care if it's considered a weed, a blue hat society botanical or what it is.

In fact, I find the stuff that grows wild on this lot fares better than stuff you buy at the store.

Jeff and I actually have a patch of hawkweed that grows farther down the lot - we love it!

In my opinion, a weed is something that's growing where you don't want it to grow. If it intrudes on something, then certainly - hawk it up. If it's on its own, why not leave it there?

Actually the word 'weed' was invented by farmers. something that grows in a crop area....unwanted

HELP! I just received this begonia for my birthday. I ALWAYS kill begonias! It is absolutely gorgeous! Don't overwater right? Morning sun, afternoon shade? Help!



Last year I think I posted a picture of these iris', saying they didn't bloom! I guess patience is all I needed! Every day I watch the buds appear!

Slowly growing here, but coming along finally.

Remember the hail storm that wiped out all our crops last July? You see in the background you can see for miles? See that pile of trees?

Pretty pictures Patty!

Here's a few from me.



This doesn't look great now, don't mind the weeds , but it's going to be a whole row of GIANT sunflowers!



My new lilies opened up! Love them, I only have Yellow and Orange Asiatic Lilies. So I was happy to get these.

Patty, I've never seen a begonia like that. I'd say not too much sun or too much water. The begonias I know about don't like too much sun for sure.

Boy that hail wiped you guys out.
