sunshinesw, good to see your dwarf poinciana blooming.
Before the rain this morning, I took this picture of the Aristolochia Gigantea blooming. It is ugly, but I like her.

My scapes are really big but nothing has bloomed as yet. How is it that we are soooo close and yours bloom and mine don't?

Rita, you've got so many different plants!
This is a cutting flowering so I am not sure if it'll open all the way in the morning.

LouC, I realy do not have a explanation as to why my plants are blooming and yours are not. I did notice earlier in the spring that you had a few plants blooming and mine weren't.
After I moved a clump of daylilies from a shaded area to where they were getting more sunshine, they started to bloom again.

Sunshinesw, I do love them all, I even have a few citrus trees that I am worried about now. Their new fruits turned yellow and fell off. (sad)
What is the name of your plant? I like the blooms,it has a nice color.

It's NOID epiphyllum. I think it might be a German Empress relative.

Have a good weekend too RJ.
candela, I need a ID on this little beauty. Can it take the sun, or do I need to move it to a shady spot ?
Can anyone else ID for me? This is the only bloom on it. It came from Florida.
Thanks

Everyone has very nice pictures!

Placenciarita - I have pink balleria and they are planted in full sun and are exploding. I didn't know there was yellow. . . another plant to add to the wish list!

Candela, do you mind me asking where you found the yellow?

The plant you have in your last post, is that also a coral bean? I just planted one of these in my yard this year and am excited to see it bloom.

candela, are your super nova blooms really long? (i'm new to brugs.) a cutting that i have just bloomed as well. i had to prop the limb up to get the bloom off the ground. my bloom was longer than the actual plant itself!

thanks for posting pictures everyone!
