Butterflys are Finally coming around

This guy was so cute yesterday am..

The pink merremia or pink palm leave or messina creepr ( called three different things in three packs) all from one little seedling, has itself thinking it is going to eat everything, and I have pulling pods and clipping like crazy, I wish I had out it somewhere else now.. like in the alley!

It has been raining and hailing here for the past 24 hours now off and on.. there are holes in everything here.. ( Plant wise) I thought this one was cute yeaterday while the sun was out

This was oen this am, even tho it has taken a beating..

This is the wedding bells plant I put in and the apricot candy is right next to it, so they are both going strong now..

Debra - I love all your butterfly photos! AWESOME!!!! :-)

This one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6959177 has amazing variegated foliage! I love it! Fingers crossed for seeds!

Boy oh boy! That messina creeper is MGs gone wild! LOL! Looks like it will cover a fence in no time at all! :-) Very pretty regardless!

Still waitng on a white alba to appear.. *sigh* I went out inbetween rain and thunder to see all my lavender moon vines just loaded.. the albas are still vining.. I remember when I grew them a few years back, for got I had them, went out one night and saw these white discs in the leaves.. now that is what I am waiting for.. still no George Strait, Xiongs is behaving like Messina Creeper on East of that area, no flowers yet, but eating the star of india, so am moving that one.. Jishi X tenten has joined the Pink Akatsu in the tomatoe patch foray, it is really going for broke now, half with flags half with out, no blooms on any of the yellows I planted and those vines are everywhere, Bereavus still not blooming, blue dawn is still vining no blooms.. no FLYING Saucers yet either.. ( EBAY)

I love penstemons.. so does the Messina Creeper..:P~~

I got some new tags from work, they are the key tags we use there, the are wonderful for tagging.. this one is tagged for a friend in new jersy

This picture does no justice.. it is small, the purple looks red and it is so different looking than this photo

good example of blue and red on same vine of Rebecca

I was going to go to bed, but oh well, I am all worked up.. a DGr in another forum heard her son was run over by a truck and I am worried about them.. here is a flower for LindaKay

a mix at the base of the messina creeper

Spinach vine and dahlias, and..zinnias and baby passis

the neighbors side of the fence on the north side tonight, sorry it is at an angle

setosa bloom expired, it is a shame I have to go out with a flashlight just to see things..

lavender Moonflower

Debra - WOW! I think we need to swap homes for a 2 week vacation! LOL! You garden is amazing! Look at all the different plants! So neat to see!

Got to see the setosa today at lunch..

got to see this lovely cajun hibiscus "Mango"

These are just killing me with beauty.. the vine behind it in the fence is driving me mad... no blooms yet it wants the whole fence in that section.. It acts like the Xiongs Chinese on the patio.. all vines, no blooms.. phewy..

WOW, Debra ... that last photo in pink ... about blinded me! THAT is what you call HOT PINK! Are those 4 O'Clocks?

Your Mango hibiscus is very unusual double bloom! Very attractive!

I love Ipomoea setosa! Such an unusual vine and so cool to touch! :-) NICE!!!!

Love ALL your blooms!!! What a garden you have!!!

Is LindaKay's son okay?

You might want to start a new thread. This one is taking a while to load up. :-)

Debra, the pic you sent in on Aug 15 and said it was in the
Xiong's Chinese pot but you didn't think it was that one, looked a lot like my
Xiong's Chinese glory bloom.

patootie, what kind of flower pots are those? they are cool looking.

LiliMerci, that is a coir pot. I need to google it but I think it's made
from coconut fibers. I like them, .48 cents each from Charley's
Green Houses. They do dry out faster than a plastic pot so I need to
water them more often.

Love your little Xiong's Chinese bloom, Jackie! I use the coir pots too for my shade plants. It does keep away any root rot issues! :-)

I wonder if I can get some at the local nursery here, other than those basket liners.

Thanks Becky. I agree, great for minimizing any overwatering or
just too much rain.
Lili wouldn't hurt to check at your local nursery's. In fact, don't see
why you couldn't ask them to order some in for you. But a person
could save money by ordering for themselves from Charley's.

i'll ask the next time I go. One local nursery had filed bankruptcy a few years ago when he had the drought. And another one that is not a local chain has some cool plants but they are more expensive. I saw some pretty banana plants at 35% off, but I walked away. Ha.

End of August time for a new thread..
