Paula, thinking of you and keeping you in my T & P's.

This is one of those "what the hays?" I have never had any gladiolas here but this is what popped up in an old pot of amaryllis. It is not the sort of thing a bird would plant. LOL

I wish I could capture the intensity of this Erythrina bidwillii, the red just glows in person.

My first tomatoes of the season, The variety is Tomatoberry and they are like little hearts.

I wanted to add that I found one of those scrunchy hoses they advertise on TV at my local CVS and I like it! It has cheap plastic fittings so it likely will not last too long but it is as light weight as they say and so easy to move around my deck, no dragging a heavy rubber hose anymore. However, it does not scrunch back like it does on TV, you do have to empty the water out but it is easy. It would be great in a GH, much easier than those spiral ones. Two thumbs up.

Paula your epi is gorgeous and Elaine, you always have the neatest variety of plants blooming. Just beautiful!
