Dredawg, is that a Japanese Maple? Such beautiful color. Btw, how did you imbed your pic? I do it a bit different then the instructions on here. I do it this way. I copy the direct link from Photobucket. Come here to post and use this: I put a space between I'll put the pic here now. My phlox in August. Kat

In the first photo you can see Hoya meliflua in the yellow pot, just a wee little thing. Now here is a photo of the plant blooming a little while ago, it's about to bloom again in a couple weeks. The rest of the plants are of similar size or larger although some have not bloomed yet. I am seeing some improved growth and vigor after I started using MSU fertilizer as well as a high P fertilizer. I had been using a fish based organic fertilizer but did not notice near the growth I am now. Mike

Diane, I just measured my hand… that bloom on Over the Moon was over 6 inches in diameter! I finally looked on HMF to see Sally Homes. At the base of the plant were two name plates so I wasn’t sure. I think you’d really enjoy seeing this garden. And, of course, I’d like to see photos of your visit! Va Joh, I’m so sorry you’re sick!! That’s the worst. I love hearing about your childhood adventures in Washington Park and the “exercise stairs.” I hope you get well soon, get a chance to visit the rose gardens and that you're having a Happy Birthday!!! Dave, aren’t you the person that likes Eden? I was thinking about all Eden lovers on GW when I saw that display. There are several Eden’s at the gardens and they have to be 15-20’ tall. Here’s a photo with a person (that I don’t know) in it for scale. Happy 4th of July!

The picture looks good, what type of flower is that? Thanks.
