Pretty pictures Jackie.
Linda, please don't go. I don't log out either.
Well, it only worked with one picture how my daughter showed me.
My adopted son screen shot these from this morning. But changed to jpg so hopefully tomorrow s pictures can be posted without this hassle

From this morning.
Posting pictures solved from my daughter and son.

Glad you figured out the problem Helena. Beautiful blooms.

I don't log out, but every time I come here, it makes me log back in. Waiting for the pages to load is frustrating. I use my phone. We don't have a computer here in the house set up.

Lovely blooms from yesterday and today Helena. So glad your kids
solved your posting problem for you. Wish they were here to help me. :-)

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

From this morning.

A lovely assortment of blooms Helena.

Thanks Jackie.
Only 3 blooms today but I found seed pods ready to be pick. Have no idea which is which except for a few that I tacked.

One bloom today.
Found two monarch caterpillars on my milkweed. I knew a saw a monarch butterfly this spring so it found my plant.

Beautiful blooms Helena.. especially the last 3. Very patriotic for memorial day.
Congratulations on the monarchs.

Thanks Linda.

Lovely Morning glories Helena.
I bet I didn;t see more than 3 Monarch butterflies this past year. Din;t know'whats uo with that. Glad you;ve still got them in your area.

The problem is being outside on just the right time to catch seeing them. I think the key is to have the native milkweed. They will come if you plant them. I stayed away from buying the tropical milkweed b/c it's not native. So far the caterpillars are on the plant that I put in the ground.
Blooms from yesterday and this morning.

Helena, those are beautiful blooms today.

Beautiful colors on your morning glories Helena. That 4th one reminds me of Berlin Blue. I didnt bring any milkweed from my former home, wish I had.

Thanks Linda and Jackie
The 2 caterpillars just about ate my all the leaves and flowers. I only see one caterpillar on the next batch of the native orange milkweed. So hope the other had enough and went hiding to turn into chrysalis. We had rain, only a few blooms. 2nd bloom is real pretty blue, last one darker blue too.

I hope you get lots of monarchs.
Beautiful blooms. I love that dark blue one.

Gorgeous blooms Helena, I'm enjoying all your pretty blooms. I love that darker,
bolder blue bloom too.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
A few blooms from yesterday and today.
I'm potting up some purpurea seeds.
Just soaked and getting in pots. Not my usual way. It's been getting really hot after 10 am here.
How are yours seedlings doing Jackie?

This is what I have blooming right now, came back from seeds in container last year. It's growing like crazy. I've started a few others kind of late. We've had really cool weather lately so may be next week it's going to be in the 80s, so hopefully those other ones will take off.
I have alot of these white seeds (no name) if you want some.

Gorgeous blooms Helena. I love # 1 and 3. I have some nice seedlings, can;t send pics yet, I don;t know what's up with my camera. When I plug it into the computer, it doesnt ask me if I want to upload the new pics. don;t have a clue what I;ve done.
I;ll just order a cheapie camera and see if I can send pics again.smh.I can send old pics just can;t upload any new ones.

Nice blooms Lili.

Thanks Jackie.
Pretty blooms Lili.
Sorry about your problem not downloading your pictures. I turned on my computer and it was slower than a snail, frustrating so I know how you feel.
So I wrote a post but it didn't go through at the time. I hope it doesn't show up.

Helena, as if I don;t already have enough problems, I sent an email I wanted to take back but I couldn;t. My mouse has developed a hair trigger and I simply hovered over sonething I was trying to re-word/correct and it sent it,. Oops!!!

Helena and Lili, both of your blooms are beautiful.
Jackie, I hope you can figure out what is wrong with your camera. Technology is great, but sometimes it can be a pain in the backside.

Yes, lol

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
My mgs have stopped blooming except for a few but repeats and blooms are small. I moved some of my purpureas to get sun before they get leggy.
I still need to get more plants into the ground. Ugh it's getting too hot early.

We will enjoy your blooms even if they are repeats and small so keep sending Helena. I only have fewer than 10 coming along. The heat is getting to me too..

Thanks Jackie.
I got my clitoria into the ground and my abutilon. Still others to get to.
Blooms this morning, not perfect, the bugs have gotten to the leaves bad but I have a ton of seeds to pick and mostly from the mixed vines. Have no idea which is which.

Gorgeous blooms this morning Helena. Such beautiful blues.
My vines were all tangled last year Helena. I just marked a few with masking tape
and only gathered a few of those seeds. I already have too many seeds
gathered and I don't feel well enough to do anything with them. It's like I
aged 10 years in the past yr..

Helena, those blooms are beautiful.
Jackie, I know what you mean about feeling older. Almost every day I wake up to something new.

Same here Linda.

I guess we are all on the same boat, feeling old and tired. The heat here in the afternoon is awful.
Just one pic of a bloom this morning.
The color is off, a lot darker and prettier in person.

Thats a beautiful bloom Helena Love the colors.

I agree, it's very pretty.

I had a purp open this morning but didn;t get out there. My son having surgery in the morning so been extra busy.
`I'm on my old computer for a day or so, so will try again soon using my old camera..

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
Jackie, hope your son is OK. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
My nils are taking a break. Two pumps this morning. Getting rain last few days.

Thanks Helena, Nice purps
My son made it just fine thru his surgery. They took his gall bladder and
his appendix , part of his large intestine and sewed up a fistula. an opening where there should not be one. likely caused by an infection.
Very nauseous, he can;t go home until he stops throwing up and can do certain things all on his own. . Now he just needs to recover, it could be a week in the hospital.
The rain is coming this way and a lot of it. .

Glad your son made it through the surgery. Sounds serious. Hope he feels better soon.
Not sure if we're still getting more rain but up cleaned and set up my rain barrel today. I didn't go out to check all the blooms this morning.

Oh my. Your son was very sick. Glad he had his surgeries to get things fixed. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Beautiful blooms Helena.
