Thanks and great job Kay!
What a lovely show, KayJones. I especially like the Calatheas, too. The little stripey one to the right is great!
It's a wonderful thing that you have the native anoles in your yard - means you have a very healthy environment for them there! Way to go.
Thanks, Elaine, for your kind words. I don't have anything unusual, like the plants you all have, but I enjoy what I do have.
Here's my version of a bog garden:
This is my big Brug, planted in the ground and getting ready to perfume my yard:
This Clerodendrum splendens is so pretty:
This Thunbergia erecta blooms all summer until frost:
This Stictocardia vine is HUGE:
This sandpaper vine is so pretty, too:
I have the Manettia vine in several spots in my yard - it adds a splash of color when little else is blooming:
I just love the orange color of this Ginger:
My pond has become crowded as I stuff it with plants to keep them wet:
You can't beat the beautiful red of the Dipladenia:
Here is Thunbergia fragrans - it has very little fragrance!
The tree Lilies are blooming:
One of my DG dear Friends send me this variegated Brug. - THANK YOU!
Crested red Celosia is one of my favorite annual plants and the Queen's Tears Bromiliad has such a beautiful bloom head:
Isn't the Queen's Tears Bromiliad bloom just beautiful!
lovely display , your Gardens are awsome. Love the bog garden!
Wow great blooms everyone ! I'm still in catch up mode, and we are catching up on the rain too, Thank Goodness...
Gonna have to give everything a good shot of fertilizer soon tho as everything's had a good flush...
I'm procrastinating going back outside...got a little overstressed from the heat yesterday but I've got things to get done.
A few pics to pay the admission price
Varig.Monstera deliciosa - I love love love this plant...Thank You Rita !!!!!
Hoya and a Dahlia that gets 6 feet tall....
The Siam Tulips are on their way to going dormant:
This Florida sunset plant brings me great pleasure every summer:
These blooms on the Hoya carnosa last for months:
The purple is electric on the giant-leafed Tibouchina:
The Gloriosa lilys are about finished for now:
This pink crown of thorns is just gorgeous:
Isn't this Hibiscus lovely?
Kay love the blooms!! My siam tulips are just starting to bloom.
I'm not sure if I should trim this cane Begonia, but it's sure getting gangly:
This lone little Heliconia has 2 bloom spikes - so cute; this Hydrangea has been blooming since spring:
This Rangoon creeper vine has been blooming non-stop for months; the pink Jacobina is blooming again:
Beautiful, beautiful flowers Kay. My Siam tulips have not started blooming yet, are yours in the ground?
This agapanthus inapertus has not bloomed in many years. For a while the deer kept getting the buds then it got root borers and I left it just for the foliage. I was so surprized to see buds this year. It is much lighter in color than it used to be but I am happy it is blooming again.
Ti, Philodendron Xanadu Gold, variegated fatsia and a late blooming clivia.

Alice mine are in pots - my neighbor has hers in the ground and they come back just fine, but I don't want to risk it.
beautiful! oh how I love to come here at night and get my nightly flower fix of things I have never heard of.
This is collge girl erm.. working girl, with our new bug eater, Elmer. Elmer was rescued crossing a busy hiway out of winfield on the way home from vacation, on that little stretch of hiway were five other squashed turtles. I couldn't let this one end up as road kill. Collge girl has found out elmer is a girl, and is about ten years old. she gets let out in the back yard and spends her days roaming the flower beds eating things. she is an excellant slug and snail catcher/ and loves rolypoly bugs. She is very very tame and I swear when Joanna calls to her she shows up.
the first morning glory is called "rebecca"
the second is shibouri
the last picture is milk weed I grew from a seed this year, the pod came from a plant in the country. I am hoping it will be able to travel to florida this fall.
this is vitex, a nice native that I hope will get huge..
things that are downstairs are all full of new leaves.. I love that.
Just love that turtle your pretty girl is holding. Love that milkweed too, what a bright color it is. Vitex do get huge around here, they are one of my favorite shrubs, I have a pink one but it is not as showy as the lavender. That is a neat little old lady you have guarding your inside plants, no aphids would dare go near her, she would stab them with her needle. :-)
Good morning, everyone! Wow, college girl sure looks like her Mama! As always, your flowers are all SO PRETTY!
Thanks for rescuing the turtle Deb. We had a box turtle that came around and ate the grape tomatoes I grow in the mornings for about 5 years. Sadly, I have not seen it this year.
You guys amaze me with your flowering abilities.
