Hi Joeswife, I did not realize you had lived in scottsdale. Which part may I ask? There are some cross steets here if I had not gone through in months--when I go through them I can hardly recognize them due to construction of new buldings..etc.
Hi Prita, your pictures make me realize how important it is to have humidity for plants. Unfortunately, I have none.
Hi texasbigleaves, I love your pictures.

Congratulations texasbigleaves on your Cattleya Orchid. Great growing and I thank God the Orchid bug never bit me hard due to Orchids are quite expensive to buy in my part of the world.

lovetropics, I have visted Scottsdale Az. (Westworld) several times in the past for a annual horse show event but I have never taken out the time to view the beauty of the flora extensively that you have been showing here lately;-)

Dallas, TX

More red poppies, a few weeks ago. They have gone to seed now.

joeswife, the red passion vine is not winter hardy. My red p. is making miles of vines but no blooms as of yet. I have a white/ blue p.vine that Rita gave me 3/4 years ago, planted out side and it just keeps coming back.Can'nt find a pic. of it, well keep looking for it. Jerry

Joeswife, thanks, I enjoyed your pictures! Is the salvia in the back of my picture a Anthony Parker?
I worked outside all day today, it was overcast and pleasant. I finally have everything from the GH planted out in the flowerbeds, if only it would rain.

mjsponies, the Canna Striped Beauty is not only a beautiful flower, but also a very good picture. Thanks for the eye candy. Most of my plumerias are noids as well, but I do know who gave them to me, which makes them priceless.

rita, I can't tell if yout salvia is an anthony parker.. can you post a picture of the leaves up close? Anthony Parker is a beautiful salvia, but so are many of the others. I wish I had sent you some of the varigated B&B Omaha Gold. Remind me to send you some it gets about 6 ft tall and has beautiful yellow and green marbled leaves..

Joeswife, the variegated Omaha Gold sounds like something I would love to grow, I sure will remind you later.
I googled the Anthony Parker Salvia and do not think that it is what I have. Here is a close up of it, what do you think?

This is a Red Rhipsalis ramulosa, from candela. It does have the tiny white-ball like blossoms, but did not show up in the picture.

prita,
I've not seen a Nong Nooch Vine before.I'll have to google that one !
I like Yellow, here's my Butterfly Orchid vine, these were last years blooms, it's gotten much bigger now. I think I'll be putting it in the ground.

Rita your Salvia looks like the beautiful blue patens. Very pretty!

Hello Everyone

RachelLF,That is a very nice Alocasia, very unusual looking. I love those blooms as well, but the view behind the bloom is Grand! Lots of space for a Gigantic greenhouse. (grin)

Here are the blooms from the Anthurium Cordatum.
