On the side of the house I have one single plant growing and I wish I had more bunched up. I betcha it would look awesome. Somehow it looks like some sort of weed. Not sure. I still like it a lot.

Very pretty flower Lucy! Is it some ort of Kalancho? (spelling?) I have only pansies. dandilions and clover blooming outdoors (a few roses and camillia are clinging desperately to their buds, but I am unsure the buds will open) Indoors my parlor palm is blooming (if you can call those things flowers, ha ha ha) Have a wonderful day Frances

Daniella I forgot to add that I DID find a bloom this morning on Candida double white...but it was a single. there might have been a skirt on the outside but all I saw was some burned brown stuff and DEEP in the throat...now don't anybody make any funny comments on that one roflmao...there could have been something else growing. However I did take lots of pictures of all the buds on different angels...so I am crossing my fingers and toes in hopes that I too can post angel pictures pretty soon. Lucy

OT: POTD: Texas star Hibiscus, 1st time I see it bloom in person

hey all, I am just glad I am not the guy that drank the guys drink roflmao I don't know why I only ended up with ONE star hibiscus. I planted so many seeds at the winter sowing. So many had shared the seeds with me and I hope I can pass it on to others. Yupp I just got done watering too a few minutes ago. But while I water, I also do a touch, talk and cleaning up of most plants lol. Brenda good thought...not long and it will be Halloween again. I don't know if I got the bloom wet in the morning when I first sprayed the leaves down. But a few pedals were a little deformed. I still loved it because it was my FIRST :-) Lucy

Beautiful sunset/sunrise?. That's a tassel flower (emilia coccinea/javanica). You might have gotten the seeds from me. I love it. It may reseed or you can collect loads of seeds from the dried flower heads.

Barb I am, I am lol There are not many but I safe seeds. Just harder this year since I can not just leave them laying out to dry. Precious is not so precious when it comes to leaving things alone lol. She bites the bags open. Even bit the toothpaste tube open lol

winking at Dorothy. Just for the fun of it. ;-)
