Hi Ladies,

I know I\'m only a rare guest in your glorious collection, but I hope you may remember me.

I\'ll start with Convolvolus arvensis (pic1) - yes, it\'s weedy, but how angry can you be at a mass display of these soft pink beauties? As I already announced last year, I\'ve given up on Ipomoea Nil - they just need too long to start flowering for my climate. Instead, i\'ve reactivated I. tricolor Flying saucer (pic2 &3) - love how no two flowers are the same. Strangely, my purpureas voted for color separation this year: all on the front fence are whites with purple \"spear tips\", and those on the trellis next to the saucers are all baby blue with a soft pink eye (pic4).
Last but not least I want to show (off ;-) the latest addition to one of my other one-day-wonder-passions: Pic 5 shows Tigridia immaculata, a bright red pendulous gem from Guatemala, that somehow manages to look bigger in pictures than it really is.
