What stunning pictures ...my day lillies are still only in bud ...we have high temps but little sun and the nights drop down a bit ...hmmm ...waiting.
Judy your cannas and ollies are lovely ...what are the spires of flowers?
Brian your red blooms hit you in the eye ...is that your real soil or is it a sand garden ...love the idea of the Lake Bonney project good for you.
Ok flowering for me today Bengal Tiger (Brugmansia) the two on the right (left is Zabaglione)...Bengal Tiger actually opened coloured ... what a surprise Angels usually open white or creamy yellow. We have had terrible winds so it isn't perfect but it is quite spectacular smells devine ...the bloom itself is a very big one with drooping whiskers and a waxy texture ...this one is the only one I have struggled with besides Chloe ...but it is worth it because I want the pollen to cross with a lusty grower.
