Thanks, onewish!

oh you guys.... great gorgeous pics.... ah the possibilities!!!

Great blooms everyone - nice to wake up to all these beautiful pics. Eleanor

Hey - I thought I was the only person awake this early on a Saturday :-)

I get up between 4:00 and 5:00!! Wish I didn't cause by afternoon I can't keep my eyes open unless I'm going 100 miles/hour. Eleanor

Well, I get up because of humidity - even though the air conditioner is on in the bedroom. Once the humidity goes over 90 %, I can't sleep. I have been up since 3:40 am. I will probably go back to bed soon . . . :-)

I've been up since 5am - I've doing alot of online reading. I'm looking into fall vegetable gardening. Anyway, here's another dahlia pic for Al -I think I'll go outside for abit. Very foggy this morning.

boojum thanks for the name of the verbena I will have to look for that one next year. I really love that soft peach color!

Onewish, beautiful flowers....love the yellow begonia, it looks like a rose.

Some pictures from the Oceanside garden in Wells, where I'm visiting this weekend...
Elizabeth Park Rose...

Hollyhock - these are on their 3rd year... I started them from seed many moons ago. The plants are about 10 feet tall!

Buck rose "April Moon"

I'm enjoying the begonia pics. Killed them all to mildew last year! So I'm living vicariously. I collect hippeastrums (amaryllis), orchids, epiphyllums, cacti, stapedium, hoyas, walking iris, and lately, passionflowers. With a few oddball geraniums, hibiscus, clivias mixed in. And one brug. I gave away a lot of my houseplants to my orchid guy, but I'm still nervous about getting all these plants back inside this fall. I hate clutter but whatcha gunna do! What houseplants do you collect?

Ok, not a flower, but sunrise on the ocean this morning...

Love that April Moon. I BELIEVE in single hollyhocks! Off to the garden, guests coming later.

The boys think that flowers are for chewing .....

Andrew and Ben playing "guard dog"
