tony, the penultimate one... bachelor's buttons? very nice colors.

susan... my ogrs (i think i remember that the fairy is a new one, but you know what i mean) are kinda depressing right now. they've been in the ground for 4 years now, and i think it's about time to yank them out.

i pruned them heavily after so-so blooms at the beginning of spring. they just haven't bounced back at all. sad looking. your fairy makes me remember how my roses looked the first 2 or 3 years. fabulous!

man, i wish i'd taken you up on the chaya offer. i had no idea what it is, but since the trade, it's as tho it's the only plant in the world -- people keep asking me about it. shoulda coulda woulda.

ILL, sorry, have no idea. I should take my plants more seriously. I rarely know what I have planted, yet, I dont think that plant with the blue flowers is a bachelors button, could be though. Its been really heat tolerant and only NOW starting to show signs of cooking in the open sun.

Welcome to the cudda shudda wudda club, I have been a member forever it seems.

Tony and Ill, the blue plant looks like ageratum to me. Tony I have plants just like your 2nd and 3rd pics.

Ginny, I love the picture of your garden.

Nova, I love your vitex.

Here is a link that might be useful:

atreelady, Yup, thats what it is alright. I remembered the name once I read it and the pic confirms it, thanks!

Tony

Ginny and Tony - Great pictures! Love your bloomers!

ill-man - Send me your addy and I can send you some chaya cuttings when I put Veronica's in the mail.

nova

This is what greeted me as I opened the blinds this morning!

WOW Wanda!! Is that a night blooming sirius?

Beautiful flowers guys.
Nova,the chaya that I got from you is not doing anything. I planted it in full sun,I keep it on dry condition with occasional watering and liquid fertilizer. Is there anything
that I should or should not be doing? I have it in the ground.
Felix

Nice flowers , everyone!
Time to run outside and check on mine :)...And water more, as rain never arrived to Temple Terrace! :[

Olya

Beautiful flowers everyone.
Here are my Memorial day bloomers. Please remember our troops!

Jan1 - Love your creative photography!

Wanda- Beautiful!

Felix - Sounds like you are doing everything right. Maybe it is just taking it's time to settle in? The cuttings I planted after the swap are taking off now and starting to bloom. Here is a picture of the "mother chaya" from today. It froze back to sticks over the winter but is coming on strong now.

nova

Nova,thanks for your response on the chaya. Mom Chaya looks great.
Jan, very creative photography,as Susan said. You need to blow them up and frame them. Give them as gifts and/or sell them.
They are very artistic.
Felix

Nice photos everyone! Love your creative hoya pics Jan.

Everyone's photos look great. Jan your photo editing is really super!!!I agree with Felix, blow them up, print them on nice paper and sell them.
Barb

Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Laura, beautiful day lillies. I am not sure bout your hoya dripping orange nectar, certainly don't look like the carnosa. Hmmmm! here is my carnosa.

i'm most excited by the banana, a cavendish that i bought last year at the deland plant faire. it was marked "dwarf cavendish" but when it got to 20' i figured maybe it had been misidentified...

this is only the third time the vanda's bloomed for me. tho it suffers from fungal issues, it's a very easy orchid.

Great pictures everyone!!

Here are some pics from the garden today. Some are foliage plants...just now coming back really well from winter.

Supertunia Raspberry blast

The wave Petunia. This one made it through winter and now looks better then last year!!

Atreelady, I'm not sure if it is one or not. Hopefully, someone can tell me.

Jan, is yours a night blooming cereus? It sure looks just like mine.

I got mine from Gary about a year ago and it's bloomed twice already. I've also started some cuttings. Thank you Gary!

Wanda, yes it is Epiphyllum strictum. Night blooming epi.
