It's about two hours later from the previous picture and the blooms have opened

A couple of Peace Train blooms were open also

Patty.. ;D good to se you .. I love your flowers..

Phughes, Thanks for the new thread, It is better to have two #43s than none.
Boy, how your plants have grown. Everything is looking real good, it looks as if your bow-tie vine is at the top of the trellis.
Pineapple lily

I have nothing new today, so I will show a few of my pots.

We had a little excitement today , we heard thunder, but no rain yet.

Persian Shield
Brazilian plume flower

joeswife, I hope that the Chalice vine blooms for you this summer.

For Rita: I love this one.. thanks! OH! My gloriosa lilly has bloomed, but the pic my DD took is fuzzy;( I have to leave at the crack of dawn for work, so I miss everything.. My I. Plantesis bloomed this am, and all I got from DD was a pic of it all shriveled up.. bless her for trying tho.. the pics I am showing you are nite time pics from tonite.. just came in from planting all the tropical things my other DD brought home to me from Padre Islands.. Have no clue what they are except the plumeria cuttings which are huge..,

from Tropicman, and the Brug is from Cat, will it ever bloom?

Joeswife, I especially love the furry flower at the bottom of that one photo... :)

Well i finally got my phone hooked up so now I can post my pictures that I have been taking with my new camara.

Plumeria aztec gold

Isn't this a beauty? Twilight Mist was really vibrant this morning when I snapped this picture. The first blooms I got off of this new hibbie were more pastel in color. I am really getting addicted to these tropical hibiscus. Love the color changes.

Here's a previous picture that I posted earlier of this same hibbie. What a change huh?


Patty

ohh those are lovely just lovely!
Hi James, I recieved a ton of plummie sticks from padre islands this week and hope to see something happen with them. Also, my cajun hibs all have buds, hope I don't miss them...

Well where is mine?....................lol

'A ton of plumie sticks ' is music to my ears!!!

Joeswife, that is a good night shot. Is that a real Egret in the background? Next time, perhaps we can see your dogs' face instead of his tail end. lol

I apologize for the very large pictures, I thought that I had re-sized them before posting.

LiliMerci, I saw your pictures on #42. I love the color of your Dahlia and the Lace flower is one I will have to get for my hanging basket.
perennial garden, with lantana and iceberg roses.

pensacolagarden, I am glad that everything is back up and working. That is a good, nice clear picture of your plumeria.
Philo.

phughes, you are right, Twilight Mist is a beauty. You sure can pick them.

Hoya shooting Star ,still blooming

I am waiting patiently for my Hoya archiboldiana to open. NOTTT.
The buds look like pom poms.

Don't you just love Hoya multiflora? flowers for ever. Mine are taking a break after I cut the top off to give to a friend.

This blog is dedicated to my fellow gardeners on the tropical plants and tropical zone gardening, and in particular.....my pal Rita.

EXOTICA!
