I really loved this one, and every bloom left a pod, I cut it back and now it is going again..

Always my favorite, I have these from last year seeds, and they do well for me, rambling on what ever I give them to climb on.

Thanks Guys, I was late for work today trying to get that perfect shot of what greeted me this am..








These were moved to the outside of the fence when the guy next door started spraying his weed and feed stuff.

These also surprised me, I untangeled these vines and had to cut them away from the corner barrell last weekend, and here they went and bloomed.

I will be cutting back a bunch more to re-train them on the new lead strings I have for them.. they are choking each other out..
Here is the second bloom of the large white with pink center, I think I will catch a nap while I wait for it to upload here.. gosh I better copy and paste what I have typed in case this post gets lost ..

This is the pink moon vine caudex from Emma, along with the two white blooming mounding plants of seeds from Liz last year I found. Oh and the caladium I forgot I planted in this pot..

I am hoping one of these I. Purps vines is a milky way, and a jaimie lynn, but so far I have been seeing pink , Ronnies lav/blues, Liz's Lav and shibouri.. there are so many seeds planted along this area, will be fun cutting them back this weekend. Then I will use my new ultra fine paint pen on my vine tags.

Here is my corner inside the patio, the chair looking South.to the left of me is my little water tub, and a bunch of vines, some hibiscus, some other blooming plants, the bean patch that is now a tomatoe and morning glory patch and then the house garden.

Looking to the south on the right side of me, and at the patio table, is my little table garden, of which I have several species seedlings, Karens Crystal willow, Charleens red mg, and the crocomosia or what ever they are called are JUST now bloomig, as well as purple ruffles coleus up from seeds, I have starts of brugs, monardas, some tree seedlings, an argyea wallchii, beach morniing glory, giant green castor bean seedling, celosias from seed, and gosh, alot more on this table. I just love the peek a boo view i get at the yard thru here..

There is a three teired plant stand at one end of the table next to a plant stand that holds my king coleus starts, earlier when the marine helio trope was blooming it was lovely, and my dark angel dahlias are getting buds in the tub as well, I can't wait for them to bloom.

This is shot from the other side of the table.. I thought it looked neat, I have trimmed those I. Purps since this am..

This USED to be the Potatoe Patch. We are still eating Yukon Golds, yummy. In this mess, you can see the Kansas native Snow on the Mountain in the middle of the transplanted tomatoes, as well as the morning glorys that I have moved to this area in their pots, and a cleome and white four oclocks .. behind it is a small path between the garden and the house which is full of my four o clocks.
