Allison, not morning glory but close....Sweet Potato Vine

I think it is sweet potato vine too. nice flowers everyone. Love the containers allison.

Very nice, ladies. Love that color on Invincibelle, Pat. Why did you cut it?

This mophead is loaded.

As is this Annabelle.

Hagley and Abundance are incredible.

JI about to open.

And opened.

Victor love the mophead. cool blue, mine are always pink and the JI is delicious.

Last - bee on geranium.

Thanks, Rama!

Forgot this rose.

Lovely, Victor! That blue mophead is something! Do I see a couple purplish heads among the majority of blue ones? Cool! As is usually the case, you are way ahead of me here. I assume your hardy hibiscus are also up and going strong?

Yes, even more this year than past. There are even some pink ones. Pretty weird. Yes, the HH are growing quickly, but no blooms yet.

Is this weed feverfew?? It's about three feet high and very narrow.

Yes. I have it too, but I treat it like a wildflower and appreciate it. :)

I like it too.

weed/wildflower....wildflower/weed.....weed/wildflower.....I think it depends on whether you are a "glass half empty" or a "glass half full" person. lol

It will be removed after blooming, though.

Looks like a fleabane....same leaves. Pat, wonderful color on that hydrangea. Victor, those clems are awesome. Jen, that is one cool caladium....would look nice in my shade garden.

Victor those hydrangeas are HUGE

Robin that caladium is Miss Muffet

That Annabelle, which I did not cut back at all, is way ahead of the ones I cut back and is packed with flowers.

can a sweet potato vine last outside over winter??... or self seed somehow??

wow can not believe hydrangea's have opened already ! great shots jen and victor.

Snowflake.

Great shots everyone! Love the Hydrangea. I have an endless summer which has very blue and very pink blooms on the same bush. Sweet potato vine will not overwinter outdoors. You can try bringing in the tuber over winter. The tuber looks just like a sweet potato ^_^

It is amazing to see the hydrangea in full spring. I am a long way off. Third lily just bloomed yestereday and I still have primula blooming away. The last of the narcissus went by yesterday. No Japanese Iris yet either. Another nice day, so out to weed. Here are a few from yesterday. Patti

Another collage. Patti

I think the tag on Lemon Veil is wrong....not sure who this sib is in reality. I will crawl around and see if I can find a tag. Pretty thing. Patti

Very pretty, Patti. Like that rose.

i like the climber rose - have never had luck with them here.

i now stick with the knockout's

finally able to get a picture without the sun ruining it - re-blooming bleeding heart - looks only ok although makes for a good ground cover - will need to pick up dead daff foliage soon.

parent weigela that i gave a few off spring away last year

delph's are starting - they are really purple and blue
