Luvs, caladiums are so pretty! I wish I had gotten them instead of the calla lilies. I only have so much room to store bulbs :o(

Flowerjen, I hope your son has nothing serious. I don't like crowded places either. It really makes it hard to keep an eye on kids.

Stormy, ROTFL! I can barely operate one computer and an external drive. I am so clumsy doing things like that! Another ROTFL!! NO ONE will see any sort of shot like that! I was behind the camera and then the camera was in. the. truck!

I just got my bulbs planted a couple of weeks ago and they are just starting to come up. We sound more alike all the time! I won't laugh, but I'll say yum to the garden food!! Our neighbor offered us corn last night. It was so good! My peas are done. I can't believe it isn't too hot for your area to grow them now. As soon as it heats up here, they are done. I didn';t have enough to freeze. We just eat them up like we do the asparagus.

I'm glad you finally got rain. It takes rain to make rain so maybe you'll be lucky. Preen has really kept any new weeds from growing. I am so happy! Especially with all the rain we've had. It should be nothing BUT weeds! I've managed to start collecting seed. I sowed everything old last year and not much came up. That's ok. I'm changing the bed I put most of it in anyway.

Gorgeous tiger!! I don't have too many new butterflies yet. I haven't been able to walk the beds for a couple of days now. Neat shot of the underside! Oohhh, I love Supernova! I'll bet it smells so good! My flowers got so tall that my lilies got buried. I was trying to wave some scent to my nose the other day, LOL! I'm not getting in skeeter territory!

Gita, isn't it nice to have someone really want something and you have it? I really like Cliva, but it would be an annual for me. It is a lot of color.

I mowed almost the whole yard before it rained yesterday afternoon. I have the small back yard left to do. Did I say rain? It POURED! We have another 2 2/10''. Amazing!

Chris, I hope you are having rain. I hope you aren't sick again. I hope this is all over with soon! (((BIG HUGS))) and best wishes! I wore my FLAG pin to the Dr. yesterday and left it pinned to the shirt. I'll wear it again to get groceries Thursday. GET WELL!!!!

This is Garden Phlox that re-seeds into any color, with Balloon Flower and a Daylily.
