I am drooling here. Thanks for posting them. Karen
Susie, how come they haven't made you an Uber gardener yet? You are such an asset to Dave's. Your pictures are lovely.
Clare, I'm not good about putting stuff in the Plantfiles!
Zone envy! Zone envy! Every little zone matters!

Beautiful blooms, Susie. Everything here is frozen back to nothing. I hate winter. LOL
Hello Susie.
Wow. And wow again! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful, all of them. I think this is a favorite time of year for our gardens. Good thing as it is hummingbird mating season here. It is always interesting to see what temps the brugs prefer for color. My potato bush that I am training to be a tree has run amok in the last few weeks. I went to trim it and my neighbor came out and begged for a reprieve as it is in full bloom. Lol. she loves the silly thing. She has shared so many orchids with me that if she is enjoying my lowly bush, I will leave it for her.
Susie, do you have whitefly problems with your hibiscus there? Yours are so beautiful. I have shunned them to keep this particular pest out of my garden. The bushes will turn white with them here.
Whitefly is the one pest that we rarely get! Aphids are about the only thing that gets on my hibiscus and the ladybugs take care of them.
I did get mealy bugs on a big El Capitolo. They came from a mandevilla that DH bought at wallyworld. He set it under the hibiscus while I decided where to plant it. By the time I noticed the mandy was infested, the bugs had gotten on the hibiscus.
Susie that is Clero Speciosissimum. She is a real beauty. I really loved mine and Paniculatum actually all of them lol. I love Clero's and Erythrina's
Well that does it Susie. I am packing my bags and moving in with you! Is my room ready?
Your gorgeous pictures are food for the soul, as I sit here admiring them and the snow is piling up outside my window!
Donna, I have an extra one if you need it.
Mel, the room is ready, but the pool may be too cold to swim in this time of year.
Susie you are to kind. Yes I would love one
When I saw the baby plant growing I thought to myself "Donna might need this one." Let me know when you're ready for plants this spring and I'll get a box ready.
I've got to get your seeds packed up too. I'm finished with classes for a while!
