Love all the pics but that toad lily is gorgeous. I think we have that same variegated bougie in our yard. DH is fascinated by the two different colors on the same plant. We'll be putting our tropical away soon, too, but I think I love the Fall blooms even more than the spring blooms. Love the fact that your Baji fairy duster came back with the rains.

Lovely photos!

Roselee, I'm encouraged by your enthusiasm for the Baja fairy duster. I just planted a cousin - callandria emarginata - and am hoping it has the same everblooming drought tolerance you've experienced.

Had to google the Wooly bee bush as I've never heard of it here in Florida. Maybe it doesn't like our humidity. I see that it's a type of aloysia. We can grow another kind - a. virgata, aka sweet almond bush (or tree!). White flowers and a fragrance that sends one hunting for the source.

Thanks for posting, June

Love seeing pics of your garden, especially the Baji fairy duster and Wooly bee bush. I'm adding those plants to my want list.

Great plants and pics. I grow a pink flowered calliandra that has bloomed all summer. I didn't die on me last (mild) winter but not entirely sure as to exactly how hardy it is. Would love to find a red one, I would imagine it would do as well as the pink.

roselee is the blue vine rampant? tell me about your experience with it pls

Thanks to all who looked at the photos, and also to those who commented.

MsRed Bryd, I had to check really closely to convince myself that the white and pink blooms were on the same stems.

Juneroses, the wooly bee bush/brush (here are more photos) is not commonly found in nurseries even in Texas. It seems it's one of those plants still waiting to be 'discovered'. With its rough rough textured leaves and many grey branches showing it may seem to lack refinement, but I love the slightly shaggy look, plus the blooms are elegant. Incidentally, I have three sweet almond verbenas which have grown into trees. They flush many times a year and are covered with blooms right now filling the yard with fragrance.

Bossy, the snapdragon vine is an annual in my garden and has never been rampant. It regularly came back from self sown seeds and its delicately beautiful twining foliage decorated a portion of the chain link fence. Then one year I did some digging in that area and I guess the seed got covered and it didn't return so I got it going again with seeds from Patty.

I used to have the pink 'powder puff' and don't remember it freezing back like the red one. Unfortunately, I tried to move it at the wrong time of year and it died. I'll buy it again if I find it.

Wow -- you've got a LOT of things going on. Your Cramosi superior rose is absolutely stunning! So is the white brug as well as everything else.

It's great to see your Meyers lemon so loaded. My Satsuma doesn't have even one fruit. My friend with the Changsha said her tree has only about 20 tangerines. Seems maybe the rain this spring prevented the flowers from being pollinated at the right time--or something?

Thanks for posting your photos although sometimes with photos more people will click on and see them if you start a new thread. They have seen mine and don't realize there have been new photos added. I just want everyone to see yours!

Don't know if rain has had an effect. My next door neighbors Orange is loaded and my satduna has 2-4 fruit and another one has none. The cramoisi is awesome, . Will try to post pics later. Thanks for link on snapdragon vine,. Looks like it might not like clay soil but perhaps I could pot it in a fast draining soil. Roselee if u hv seeds to spare I would love a few

Thank you both. I am just learning how to post pics, etc.. Had not thought bout starting a new thread. Will keep that in mind.

You grow so many plants that I have never really tried! I love seeing your gardens Roselee and yours too Junegreen.
