The summer solstice is almost upon us. I love the long days.
The Summer Solstice: Summer has begun by the almanac, but the light is already leaning toward Fall.

A good name for this stretocarpus...'Night Beacon'.

The image didn't pop up but I could see it on the forum. Great pic...........please post more, GL>
I agree Goldleaf... I so love the long days of summer!
Not a gessie photo (but maybe it is, as my oldest daughter's name is Jessie!)
But is what long summer days are all about!
What an awesome photo! Captures summer perfectly with the light. I feel as if I am right there walking behind the girls.
Night Beacon is very beautiful!
I love your picture Wild_Rose!! Was that one in the photo contest ?
Yes it was... I'm biased, but it is one of my very favorite photos!
Mine also.That's why I remember it!!
Love your picture, WildRose!
Pretty Night Beacon, GL!
I don't have alot right now, but here goes . . .
This one so wants to be a fantasy! You can see it more in person. I just don't think it's gonna make it! This is the Playful Rainbow (not) from last fall.

I am really getting excited about african violets, again.........so glad to see the pics!!
Very pretty AVs Syru!!
Oh, I just saw the NOID I was given from my mom's friend that had gotten it from the hospital in Austin . . . oh, I think I know what it is!!! I'll take a pic in a bit!
One of my favorite non-gessie plants is the Elephant Ear. I tried to find several varieties this year, to put on my balcony. This is what I have...
Colocasia 'Mojito'
Ok, well there ARE a few flowers in the background....
My niece, Emily Paige, and Pepino, my latest chihuahua. Emily is 5 years old today.
Colocasia 'Elena'
Happy Birthday Emily! She's so cute!
Xanthosoma 'Lime Zinger'
Colocasia 'Elepaio'
This is as good as it gets for my close up skills - Hoya Camphorifolia. This little bunch of flowers is only as big around as a quarter, each one is so tiny, and the perfect shade of pink. I definitely recommend this hoya is you like hoyas. It isn't too big, grows well, and right now the sun is turning the pretty veined leaves a bronzey color, which looks really pretty with the pink
PS those big leaves around it are not it's leaves, they belong to H. cinnamomfolia

Wow........great pictures, Lynn. Flair is always a favorite!
Thanks Gail.She came from Jannich.
I didn't mean post so many,but I thought I would go ahead while I had the time.I am not sure if the first K. Laura I posted is my picture or someone elses...sorry.
It is mine.It was before she had this many blooms.Does anyone know if you save a picture from DG,that says,copyright Gessiegail (for instance),if it will keep the original persons name on it.I would hate to post someone elses picture with my name on it.

Oh that 'Hilo Beauty' is really something special!!
No one cares anyway, Lynn..........it does keep the name but if you need a picture of something that someone has, they can send it to you by regular email and it won't have the name. Only if it comes from DG will it have a name on it.
Jannich and I bought big surprise boxes from Gary Mikita last year and we both got Flair.....
Maybe you have Cherry Pie, Lynn, with your streptocarpus.
