Morning Glories 2019 #04

Beautiful blooms Jackie. Your Arum looks like a neat plant with a neat bloom.
I love your calliandra Jackie. It's a shame it won't make seeds. But you should take a couple of cuttings and start a few plants propagating by cuttings. I'm starting a few of my roses and one I got a cutting of a wild looking one from st. I haven't hada calliandra growing in a long time.
Bought a new plant today Tecoma with small orangy blooms. I had one years ago but made the mistake of planting it inground and it didn't make it till spring.

Beautiful orange bloom.

My Columbine are finally starting to bloom.

Thanks Helena. I do need to try a few cuttings of the Calliandra. I was so sure it would make sds. The plant I owned many yrs ago did make hard shelled sds.
Pretty Tecoma stans, I lost mine several yrs ago.
Lovely Columbines Linda, esp the blue one on the end

Helena, I forgot to tell you the Arum will die down in the heat of summer, coming back again in late fall. It doesn't like heat at all.

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
Amost Eden nursery in LA has calliandra and hummingbird plants, I'm being tempted to get a few, mail order.
Pretty columbine blooms Linda. Wish I still had my native one.
My purpurea has 2 blooms this morning. I saw the buds yesterday evening so was looking forward to see the blooms. Bought another pink drift rose and lemon lily blooming nicely.

Beautiful purps this morning Helena. I love the Rose and lemon Lily too.
I've never heard of a drift rose, is it fragrant??

Thanks Jackie. In a couple more days I'll have a ip. nil bloom. Yes, it has a nice scent Jackie. I've been lucky with all the roses I bought this year, choosing ones with fragrance.

Beautiful blooms Helena. I have never heard of a drift rose either. They are so pretty.

Thanks Linda, I didn't know about this name either. I was attracted to the color. Just adding to my collection of roses.

Helena, you have a wonderful collection of Roses and Salvias too..
I love the fragrant plants.

Thanks Jackie. Now I have to get my gson to dig holes for those roses, his not looking forward to that. But it's my mothers day gift from him. His doing good though not quite 17 and started to work 3 days a week at a restaurant.
So these bloomed for me this morning!

Beautiful blooms Helena.

Gorgeous blooms Helena. Love the higes and indica too.
Is that last bloom a Hibiscus? Pretty apricot color

Great that your gson is seeing what it's like to work and make his own money

Thanks Linda and Jackie.
Happy about getting one gson to start early, Jackie.
Yes that is a apricot color Hibiscus.
Some more blooms from this morning.

Helena, those are beautiful blooms today.

Agreeing with Linda, wonderful blooms today Helena. Love'the Milky Ways and those lily's are striking in orange shades.

Thanks Linda and Jackie. I do like those colors too.

My first Ip. nil opened from Azuremore's gift packet, no name.

Beautiful colors.

The Milky Ways are lovely but # 3 is a beauty Helena
The last bloom is pretty too..

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

Wish the other buds would speed up opening. Just the purps today.

Very pretty Helena.. Hoping I can plant some purps soon if the
rain ever stops.. Right now it would just wash my sds away.

Those are very pretty.

Thanks ladies.

We had gray sky and clouds all day and just a few sprinkles but I think we will get a bit of rain. I had to water my plants yesterday.

We lucked out today and escaped the rain. Probably won't be so lucky tomorrow and the weekend.

We got a little rain with a cold front last night. Temps dropped from 94 to 73 in a matter of minutes. It felt good.

Glad you didn't get the rain Jackie.
Glad too you had a drop in temp Linda. Yeah 94 is pretty hot this early in spring.
We got good rain yesterday and they say more for this weekend too.
Had some 8 pretty purp blooms today and couple indicas.

Beautiful collage with lovely purp and indica blooms Helena.
Cold here Linda, the same cold front went thru and now its in the 50's. :-(

Beautiful blooms Helena.

Thanks Jackie and Linda.
Went out of town for 2 days, missed seeing my blooms opening but they were drenched by the rain anyways.

Jackie and Linda, hope you both had Happy Mothers Day!!!

Thank you Helena.
Happy mother's day to you ladies.

Those are beautiful Jackie.

Thanks Linda

Beautiful blooms Jackie.

I had some nice blooms this morning!

Helena, those are beautiful. I love those first 3.

Gorgeous Chocolate Silks. # 3 looks a little different, is it also a Choc Silk?

Thanks Linda and Jackie. Those choco silk are all from old seeds from 2012 when I grew them.
Wish I had better pic of this purple star from Azuremores seeds. I had to help open that first bloom. Hope next ones I won't have to do that.Had to buy Neem Oil, I think bugs are doing a number on the mg leaves.

Beautiful colors.

Gorgeous purples Helena. The Purple Star is amazing

Thanks Linda and Jackie.

A few more Ip. nil opening but loads of purps.
