Somehow I "lost" this thread again ... that seems to be happening a lot with me lately. LOL, I sometimes wonder how I find my way home sometimes! Geesh, I should leave well enough alone and quit playing with my settings on DG, I end up losing some of the threads I'd been watching.

Enjoying the lovely summer blooms!

Lynn: That Elderberry Black Lace is Gorgeous! I had never heard of that one so had to go google and read about it. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56964/ I sure wish that plant grew this far south, I even like the looks of the foliage when not in bloom: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=images of elderberry...

jmp24: That is a lovely Prayer Plant. I have never been able to keep one alive for long.
Many years ago we always saw Opuntia cactus along the roadsides here in Florida but I haven't seen one in a long time. They have beautiful yellow blooms but OUCH! those thorns!

My Epiphyllum Oxypetalum bloomed for the very first time last night! Well, I've had this plant for a long time and this is actually the first time we've seen it bloom. It was so much fun watching the progression. I posted photo's in sequence from when it began opening to how the bloom looks now. I will just post one picture here but if anyone is interested in the sequence of shots you can check it out here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1002283/
