Nice to hear from you Robert. I have companion plants to share with you -iris, dayliiles, and daffodils for sure. If you have a spare climbing pinkie, I would love to have one to climb on my deck (per your suggestion). Also per your suggestion, I put in a rose swag in the spot where you advised me needed roses (at the top of the embankment of daylilies). Keep us posted on your progress. Kathy

1. What's growing nearby ; ) 2. Thunbergia Erecta 3. Thought it might be COG myself but the throat markings are wrong, i think. I'll say Allamanda Cathartica, probably 'Henderson'. Really more a vine than a shrub but can be pruned into a shrubby mound. 4. Allamanda Shotti-Smaller flowers, shrubbier habit. 5. Agree with John 6. Jatropha i think, euphorbiaceae family 7. Has this flowered? Do you have a picture? 8. Is it fragrant? Looks a little little like H. Arnottianus but the colors seem too vibrant and the leaves don't look right. Where'd you get it? If it came from a big box store in a 6" pot you might want to search the Monrovia or Proven Winners website for an id. 9. & 10. i don't know ixora myself but i'd be suprised if they can be idenified by flower color alone. Maybe someone else can help you out if you know what size the bushes grow to? 11.& 12. Psittacorum Heliconias-sometimes called Parrot Heliconia. The orange one is the common one. Lots of selected color forms, the yellow one could be 'Sassy' or 'Princess Di'. Horribly invasive. 13. Looks like a Stricta, maybe Dwarf Jamaican? Should have a dark red midrib if so. Not too aggressive, at least not in my garden where it gets to less than 2 feet tall and blooms pretty much year round. i've seen it get to 4' tall in some other locations.

Nancy; Thanks.We had a good storm this afternoon and everything got watered real good.Timed just right,as i had put out some fertilizer yesterday evening,so now its watered in good. Alexa; This Grenada really does glow,it is so bright.It attracts alot of attention around here. Leslie; i have a weekness for the purples and Lavendars,too,but I don't have very many of them , yet Patricia. I have a small part of my front yard fenced,because at one time I had a little poodle,and also a goldfish pool in the front yard,and we had to put up a fence around it to keep the dog in and to keep kids out of the yard where my pool was.They would come and throw rocks hitting the fish in the head.Don't have a dog now,and the pool can't be used either.Its just a eye sore in my yard now.I made that rose bed outside the fence,since I had the inside full. Glad you injoyed the roses.They don't hold a candle to yours,yet. Jean

Jon, I edited my name and typed the in zone right after it, like it was my last name or my title. Wish I could help you with IDs. Nice plants! Edit - here's what I was talking about. You cannot edit your user name, but you can edit what is publicly displayed.
