Hi Melanie, hope those milkweeds grow well for you!

Haven't been online much, still dealing with the kitchen. Drywall is up and painted and most of the cabinets have been delivered, still waiting for a few more. We are hoping to get it completed by the 4th. The gardens are thriving even though I have been neglecting them a little. All this rain over the past few weeks has been great! Here are some random pictures of what I have blooming.

1. Blue hydrangea
2. Light pink crinum. I have the milk and wine and a dark pink in abundance. My neighbor gave me a few plants of the light pink last year and this is the first bloom.
3. One of my plumerias. I stuck this piece in the ground last year because it still had blooms on it and I wanted to see if they would open. The blooms bloomed and it has grown and thrived in the spot I put it in.
4. This heliconia was given to me by a friend and I had no clue what the bloom would look like. A year later I get flowers. :)
5. Zinnia I got at the RU, thanks Bonnie!
