Sheri I love the color of your 4oclocks ( the solid ones )is that a fushia color>>?? It would really stand out mixed in with my yellow 4oclocks. If you have seeds from them would you want to trade any seeds of flowers that you've seen I might have?? grin


I posted these blooms taken at night in the Night Picture thread Here they are in the light of day...

Oooooh Oooooh Diane....

your Brugs r sooooo soooo beaaauutiful...! n mine refused to bloom..!!! ..n they r in full sun... but i guess full sun in Malaysia is certainly not d same s full sun in your area!! Should have thot of that b4 huh..!? They r in very very large pots n their roots have grown out of their pots into the ground...so would b very difficult to move....

Oh i envy u your blooms....!!


i believe that somewhere in da darkest night...a candle glows,
i believe for every drop of rain that falls...a flower grows....

IT is lighter than most I've seen Tamara But that is what the package said when I planted last year,, I wonder if the lightness varies with soil or sun or maybe they put the wrong one in the package,??

Soil and light both play a part. Bee's jubilee is for shade.

These Moon flowers were still open at 11 this morning shock ,, Very unusual to stay open that long at 1pm they started closing,, I suppose with cooler nights and morning they will stay open longer,, clap I have been looking for seeds on these since they started blooming in late spring. I have kept an eye on the flower itself after it's spent, then on the vine when it drops off and NOThing,, boohoo No pod no browned anything,, I want seeds from these tears I just can't figure it out,, I have had many many blooms does anyone know where I might find the seeds why ???

Very pretty flowers, Alba!
Thanks so much for sharing them, when ours are finishing up here.

I simply cannot believe that my honeysuckle is blooming again.
ON THE LAST DAY OF OCTOBER - HERE IN NY!!!
That just simply does NOT happen!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I am...

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I don't have much left in bloom outside, but did find a few nice surprises indoors today.
I rarely have been able to get an African Violet to rebloom after purchasing it,
so I'm thrilled to see this today.

[Linked Image]

And this is a baby from that plant - my very first AV baby ever!
I had placed this leaf on the soil in the large jade plant near the mother,
and it actually sprouted a baby! Hope it continues to do well!

[Linked Image]

And LOOK at this Thanksgiving cactus flower - first time ever that this particular plant is in bloom.
I've had it for a few years, but it never really grew much nor bloomed.
I love how it's almost white with just the slightest tinge of pink to it.
