Tk I can't take cilantro way most people over use it. I use just enough for seasoning and not enough to over power the rest of the food. That way you can enoy it rather then be made ill from the over powering flavor and aroma.

Haven't posted new photos in awhile. Here's some with my new camera.

One of my last blooming pansies-

Here is my newest bloom


I get a few more everyday now

That's so cute Pheonix! What is that?

It's a day lilly that's my hand at the bottom. I had to bend it down a little so I could get a good shot of it

I LOVE those morning glories of yours. I keep telling Jeff that i want a fence just to have all kinds of vines grow on it

I never planted those morning glories.. they are weeds here. I just can't get rid of them.. so I let them go. They are annuals, but reseed a LOT. Plus, I swear, the vines must come up from roots underground all over the place too! I don't mind them on the fence, but when they start winding around my other plants, I start yanking them, or they choke them out. I wish I had the pretty big morning glories.. these are tiny. I've seen some varieties that get nice big flowers, in pretty blues too.

wow, wow, wowza, wow

bill quality photos if I've ever seen them. Those are some really great photos meg. That must be some camera you got.

Thanks TK. I don't know if I am as artistic as Bill with the photos. I just love taking all kinds of snapshots, and yes, the camera was pricey $$$ so that helps me a lot. Otherwise, they'd be dark, blurry, etc.. cuz I can't hold a camera without shaking. My breathing alone messes me up.

Meg

Hey meg check out the seed exchange we have a member in japan (i think) that has some really fantastic looking morning glories.

Beautiful new flowers everyone.

Love your Pink one Meg and that one of your Phoenix is gorgeous!

wow JV looking good there kiddo. But weren't you suppose to be taking it easy today?

Tammy I did!! as I did not go down the steps in my wheel chair also did not try it on my crutches as I would have fell and busted my petunia all over the yard . With spots help I hobbled down on my cane and took these he was right there for me to hold on to. Just could not let these get by me.
Glad you like them.
Jimmy

Those are stunning JV. Love the peach ones!

Thank you Triss I am very proud of them.

<whit whew> Wow JV ya got some nice lookin bloomers there! Thanks for sharing! Now please excuse me while I go find a tissue to wipe up this drool...

Jeepers what beautiful flowers. You've done some wonderful gardening there.

lol @ Mary,

I know the feeling. They sure are nice.

I can't decide which color I like best!! I adore the yellow.. it has such a tranquil feeling to it. The pinks, well, I love pink.. it's a romantic color to me, and I had a pink one last year that ended up gone after the winter's freeze. The peach / orange colored ones, give me a warm fuzzy feeling.. so, it's hard to pick a favorite. They are all so beautiful JV!!

Surprise lilies - and they certainly did!

Mary your lillies are beautiful all I had was yellow and they all died after they bloomed one time. I was very disappointed will not mess with lillie again will enjoy everyone else's .
that is a pretty color too.
