Pics of some brugs and other flowers

14 years ago

Today was such a nice day that I decided to leave my bed and go outside to take some pictures. Armed with my camera around my neck and my crouches off I went. It was such a nice view, lots of different color leaves were laying on the ground and the trees were a delight.

I'll start with my double white I bought a few days before I left for Boston. It had 2 blooms when I left. My NOID Pink had some blooms too so I decided to take some pollen from them and put it on the double white. To my surprise when I came back I saw 2 seed pods developing :)) I hope they will stay and mature so I 'll have my first cross.

This is Sanguinea I also bought it before I left.

This is my Pink Noid I propagated. If the weather holds I'll have lots of blooms.

And other stuff I have in the garden right now.

Beautiful blooms and lots of fruit ready to pick! Beautiful garden, Pat! I love the pop of the morning glories next to the fall foliage. What is the deep blue bloom in the last picture?

Lol, I will stop coloring too when it all gets one color. I just have this big black patch in the back. They found something on the cat scan last night they need to do an MRI and get a closer look at it near the pituitary gland in his brain. I have been so worried I am exhausted. I couldn't even tell what I was trying to say in that last post. He is still very tired too. I hope we can still go this weekend but waiting to hear from the doctor if its ok or not and see how we are both feeling. He is in denial of course and outside working in the heat so I am watching him close and making him come in for breaks and drink water. I think he had heat exhaustion He passed out and had a siezure. Sure wish the ER doctor had told me more before she ran off and left. My sister's daughter in Georgia just had a baby and they had to remove her gallbladder this morning so she might be able to come either. Whats that song about if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all? Lol, things will get better. Just soooo tired.

Kristy you can ID the hornworms by the little spike on their butt, even little ones have it. They get big, about 3". Sometimes you'll see them with little white eggs stuck to their back. You should leave those be. The eggs are from a parasitic wasp that preys on caterpillars, especially hornworms. Shawn the second pic is the clerodendrum (bleeding heart vine). I've had that one for about 3 years. I also have a standard solid green foliage one and another with purple and red blooms that I've had for about 7 years. Some years I cut them back enough to move them inside and allow them to keep growing. Other years I cut them to the soil and let them go dormant in the unheated (but above freezing) greenhouse. They can become monsters in warm climates. I've seen privacy fences in S. FL completely covered. It looks beautiful.

Kylie... yeah... and he'll cook the steaks and buss the tables. Hong... don't kid yourself. You seem to have the gardening under control. I loved seeing your plants, flowers and hardscape items. Thanks for the nice compliment though. The big trophy was not for me... don't I wish! The Ryder Cup is a team golf competion, played every other year, between the United States and Europe. It is easily the greatest event in professional golf and one of the greatest events in all sports. It was played, a couple of weeks ago, in Louisville, KY, where the U.S. won for the first time, since 1999. It was incredibly exciting, even for people like me, who were there working 14 hour days! Anyway, I got to have my photo taken with the trophy, upon its return to the PGA of America's headquarters, here in my hometown. Bob

Beautiful Pat; I should have visited you instead of going to the NE states to see changing of leaf color, LOL! Is that a meyer lemon, yummy! And you grew watermelons, wow! I like where you have your princess flower and especially love the way you have that begonia with baby tears on the ground -- so pretty! Hope you are getting better each day.

Pam, the deep blue flower in the last picture is Princess Flower.

Eloise, the lemon is Mayer and is very precious to me. In my previous house I had 2 Meyer lemon trees in the ground. When we redone the patio the constructions guys cut and dug them out. I almost fainted when I came home and saw it. Few month later a shoot came from the ground and my mom was nursing it until it grew in a small tree. When I moved I dug it out and took it with me because reminds me of my mom.

Thanks everyone for your concern. Yes, I am feeling much better. Can't wait to get rid of crouches.

Pat hope you are doing ok...have not gotten to the older posts yet. Starting from the top working my way down. But it is a great sign already that you went outside :-)

So good to see brugs in bloom and cross my fingers for your crossed brug seedpods to develop fully also

Love your Veggies.
My grandkids ripped off the kumquats and played pingpong with em.

But my favorite pictures are the ones were you captured the change of season with the gorgeous color display of the leaves and trees. AWESOME!

Get well
Hugs

Lucy, I love Autumn and the chance in color of trees but I am happy to see my double blooming. All these month I was drooling when I saw everybody's pictures. The flowers of this brug last for so long. It's been already a week and they are still going and going. The leaves are so velvety.

Glad to hear that you are recovering. Crutches are such a PITA. That's so sweet about your lemon tree. The orange looks great as well. I love the color of your Tibouchina. I've tried keeping them in a container here but they don't do well over the winter for me, even in the greenhouse. I can't wait to see your sang in bloom.

I can not wait to see my sanguinea bloom too. It grew very nice since I bought it.
Ha, ha Karyn, I had to google Tibouchina to find out which one is. I just knew it by the name of Princess Flower. I am learning all the time:)) It is one of my first loves. When I saw it I like it so much that I bought 6 of them. Now I have them all over the yard.
