Here are some of the blooms from the past couple of weeks in my garden. I won't post too many but will leave a link to my 2008 album for anyone wishing to see more of my blooms. :)

Enjoy,

They are all beautiful.
My favorite is TWILIGHT COLORS.
FRANCES JOINER is one of my favorite doubles. You captured her color beautifully.
All of these are just wonderful.
Thanks so much for sharing.

My mouth was agape in awe of those beautiful flowers. How come mine aren't that pretty? What magical potion do you use on them?

Delicious looking leaf lettuce. I pulled mine as it was getting bitter. Petunias do so well for you. That lavender double is quite striking. I was surprised to find some self seeded in my garden. The rabbits or deer ate the tops of some of my mahagony midget coreopsis but the others are blooming nicely. Next year I might plant some in a container like you did. Last year I got no blooms because of the critters.

Thanks! I didn't realize you could see my African Violets. I have about 30 pots...some have reverted back to their heritage and I have lost the uniqueness of the original flower that I bought it for:(

Aprille, very nice pics as usual for you. Your roses look very healthy. I may have to hire you to take care of my roses whenever I travel(ha ha). Irish Creme looks like something special. Kind of gold like. Makes me want to have an Irish-style coffee. By the way, enjoyed seeing your pics on the "How Old Are You Thread" in the Rose Discussion forum. You have beautiful roses and a beautiful family. God bless you and your family! Oh, and your roses.

Thank you to everyone who looked and commented. Thanks to Annie and Mara for naming my plants! I'm adding those names to my plant list. Wooly Beebrush is a tall, narrow evergreen shrub for me in San Antonio. I cut my two plants back a little in late winter to keep it at about 6 or 7 ft tall. I like it so much I've planted two more. Molly, so sorry you've not had success with growing bougainvilleas. I've found they are easy to grow in pots. In 2 to 4 gal. pots they like full sun, rich soil, plenty of fertilizer and in hot summer they need watering at least every other day. So the frequent watering is the only downside that I know of. Well, that and having to protect them from freezing in a normal winter. Abarbie, yes, they are breathtaking in warm climates where they can grow in the ground. They are also pretty darn breathtaking on the south side of San Antonio after a warm winter. Happy gardening everybody!

Lrae....FJ is one of my favorite dbls also. She usually puts on a show for me. TC is new in my garden this spring and I love what I see so far!.

Nancy...no magical potion used...just lots of back breaking work, but I enjoy every minute of it. I do try to give them plenty of water, which right now is an all day affair since we haven't had much rain for a month now. I'm quite sure yours are just as pretty. :)

Jessica....I'm sure FJ will do really well for you. Everyone I know who grows her, loves her. :)

Julia...come on down girl...you never know what might find it's way into your car while you're here! LOL

Thanks all,
Jan

Gorgeous, Jan! I don't think I have ever seen several of these (being so new to collecting daylilies) but I really liked St. Croix, Strawberry Masquerade, Eyes of Faith and Lord of Rings. Keep posting your pictures, because as you do so you are educating some of us fledglings.

I just cannot pick a favorite, Jan!

You've done a great job nurturing them, and capturing them with your outstanding photography.

I just purchased 'Frances Joiner' this year (as Jessica), and hope to get a bloom or two this first year.

I keep going back to 'Indian Ripple', so that's going on my wish list.

Thanks for sharing your beauties!
