Nice blooms being posted

Yes, I made up the basket. We have 6 baskets around our front porch and I made up 3 like that one. This is the first year I've tried bougainvillea and I just love it so far.

Stormy - thanks for asking Doc about the native Mtn Laurel :) We have a non-native hybrid in bloom now. I'll have to take a photo and post it, it's pretty. Your shade flowers are really great and quite cheery for the shade. I have a special shade garden that has terrible clay soil. I'll have to go back and look again and check out the link you posted for some ideas. Also, I think your lily may be a Martagon vs a Pumilum because Pumilum are usually not spotted and it looks like yours has some faint spotting. I'm by no means an expert though. Our Martagon (L. Backhouse) look terrible this year. One is mia and one is getting choked out by its surroundings!
