Beautiful Gordon. For some reason I haven't had the blooms I usually have. Most of the Summer was VERY HOT and dry. Just when I was ready to cut everything down and move inside, normal temperatures and rain came back, Very few blooms on my Night Blooming Cereus. Usually I get several flushes of a dozen or more blooms at a time. Maybe 6 blooms all summer. :^((

I have some beautiful vines covering the front of the greenhouse, Red Passion Flower, Snail Vine and Rangoon Creeper. They are making a beautiful screen. The little Clerodendrum ugandense that you gave me is now over 7 foot high and bloomed some this Summer, but not as well as in the past. The Pink Brugmansia seedlings that you gave me (I need to look at the names) are huge beautiful pink blooms. I am making some string gardens for Winter. I have a couple finished and a few more planned. Here is a copy of my first one, this is an Orchid that one of my cats knocked out of a hanging basket so he could get in the basket and take a bath. Love to see you again. As usual I will have lots of seeds and cuttings for anyone who wants them.
