First bloom for me on Greenii

It is such a dark color.

Gorgeous!!!!! Roz all your plants are wonderful . Thanks for sharing your pictures. I enjoyed them.
Patti

I hope I haven't bored you all with these pictures; I finally got my camera fixed!

I am really enjoying them Roz . Please post more.
Patti

One more.... ( I think it is some kind of thumbergia, and it came back from last year. Blooms constantly.

I am also with Patti, really enjoying your photos. Last one is thumbergia? Do you know which one is this?
Kaleem

What a beauty. Roz could this one be Thunbergia togoensis or Thunbergia grandiflora ( clock vine)?
Patti

I'm not sure; I bought it at a plant show two years ago. I will try to find the tag, but grandiflora sounds familiar.

Another nice one, Roz! Post away! It is neat to see what other folks bloom.

What a beautiful color Roz, keep those pics coming!!
Janet

Roz, you go girl! more pics!

Yes Roz, more pics! I love that ginger, such a pretty red. Has it made little babies where the flowers were?(greenii does that, makes pup like thingies right where the flowers were and you take them off and plant them when they make a little bulbil/rhisome)

Incredible Roz. I have one and it is fixing to bloom too for the first time. I can't wait. The Thunbergia is Battscombi(spelling)

Thanks for the info Susie on the Greenii

Oh boy, I am gonna love this Greenii.

Donna, mine would not bloom the first year; I guess it had to get some good stalks. I also love the foliage, with red underneath the leaves.

The vine is really a hardy vine, and I love the yellow throat on the dark blue flower.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. Everybody has such gorgeous pictures
and I have always enjoyed them.

Roz, if everybody could see your gardens, they'd think they'd gone to paradise because they are so beautiful!

it is paradise... the colors, the look, makes you want to just fall in the pool.... =)

ely

have to agree.. her gardens are like a tropical paradise with a watering hole (pool) in the middle.. I so enjoyed my visit to Roz's last year... despite the incident.

Roz,
I can't wait to see your garden in person, everyone is always bragging on them!!! I could use some more inspiration!!
Janet

All of you just make me blush, and you are all so kind to not point out how messy my house is!!!!!!
We will have to plan another day this summer when everybody can come over and meet. Suzie, Frannie, and Barb haven't met lots of you face to face.

Roz, who has time to look at your house when there are gardens to explore!

ain't that the truth Susie

You are all my kind of folks! Who has time to clean house when it is sunny outside, and it is sunny nearly every day!

Roz, your greenii is beautiful! I've killed a few of them. I thought I overwatered them and caused them to rot out. Later on I read that they will not bloom if they are allowed to dry out.

I'm having another try at it thanks to Donna B. 'Hope I get a pretty one like yours.

Did you leave your Clero in the ground over the winter? I'm probably about half a zone farther north than you are. 'Wonder if I could get by with that, too.


And Susie, since you are posting, it sounds like that storm didn't get you. Hope your house and plants, etc. are okay.

I'm not sure if it will make it where you live or not, but I think I may try it, as long as you mulch it really really well. Mine is not under a tree or by the house or by the fence - it is out in the open unprotected area.
