I didn't get home from post-planning at school until the heat had affected most of the blooms.. so I will finish playing round with yesterday's blooms and will have some more to share with you.. : )

Vera, your gardens are always a welcome sight. The only planted pot I didn't empty out last Fall had Nicotiana sanderae in it with Zinnia. I've got lots of little selfsown Nicotiana seedlings sitting in that pot to be transferred around. They're the lime green flowers. After looking at the alata I think they'd be more impressive blooms. No fragrance on sanderae and shield bugs constantly sit right in center of flowers. At least critters don't eat those plants so they're worth some space. I know it's backbreaking work to get out all those rocks but I'd have to buy them for garden borders here...and I do want a rock garden somewhere, sometime. The only thing in the dirt here at my father's is gravel. When the shovel hits something solid with a "clink" it's either more gravel or Chinese Wisteria runners the diameter of the shovel handle. Thanks for sharing pics of wide open spaces with sunlight and healthy gardens!

Jill...you must have been posting at the same time I was, I missed you, sorry! :) Glad you enjoyed my dl's. Tammy...I'm sorry, I failed to answer your question about my camera. It's a Fuji Finepix S700. The macro and super macro capabilities are wonderful as is the 10x optical zoom. It really lets you get up close and personal with your blooms. LOL Shelly....I totally understand, my list just keep growing and growing and growing..kind of like that Energizer bunny, you know? :) I've had MM for a couple of years now, and it's really struttin it's stuff this season. FT is brand new and that was the FFO on it. It's one of my brightest dl's. Chris....You're gonna love AS, it's one of my favs, but then I've got so many fav's!! LOL Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed looking. Jan

Nice blooms Shelly. I like crazy Ivan and Celtic vein. My daughter wants funny cide. Bright eye is the correct name for that little beauty! I really like your seedling too. Thanks for sharing.

good camera work! thanks for the post.
also it's nice to see the flowers that stand up to the heat of the day, I think. for example the ones that change color from when they first opened, i have orange ones like that.
anyway. nice photography, keep it up.
