Very pretty......my 'Pegasus' is getting ready to bloom. They're such forgiving plants, going on year after year even as I've neglected them.

I am now more encouraged to collect some more of these epis

Oh, they are so tough. I have only two, 'Pegasus' and e. strictum, but I've had them for many years and they just seem to live forever. I think strictum has more buds forming now, will have to check.

My epi's blooms are wilting already..that was fast! So do epi's rebloom later in summer or that's it for the season?

And here's another 3-year wait finally in bloom! Odtna. Papageno 'Lavender Lady'

This may tell you....

Epiphyllum strictum in bud...


Epiphyllum 'Pegasus'...



One of my hydrangeas rescued from the grocery store....

Epis! Will admire your photos, mine is done for the season I guess..short but sweet blooms!

I never pay much attention to when they bloom, but the strictum does repeat bloom over a period of time....love the scent of that one.

I pay attention to all of my plants..coz sometimes they may not do it next season for whatever reason. Just attention, but not splitting hairs and going bonkers finding out what causes the change. I know Mother Nature has her reasons. At times it is just not the environment the plant likes.

I should keep records, but I have a lot of stuff and I'm, unfortunately, not detail oriented. I just know that it will bloom at some point...lol..

Hey at least they bloom right

Yep....lol...

I really, really like these colors together...the verbena rigida mixed in with the common pennisetum. I will definitely have to use a lot of this mix on the next property. Both are tough and drought tolerant....

That's a beautiful combination.

I think so too...every time I look at it, I smile. Anything that makes me smile is real big in my world....lol..

Epiphyllum strictum.....

Buddleja lindleyana...



Salvia africana caerulea....




Asclepias 'Silky Gold'....



My young anchusa Alkanet is starting to bloom. It would be larger by now if in the ground, but I've kept it in the pot to take with when we move and to make sure I get seeds from it....



Hydrangea 'Shooting Stars' is starting...

I planted some seeds last year and don't remember what they were. Anyone recognize this?

I counted more than 20 blooms on the single poppy and more than 30 on the clematis.


Dogwood seemed late this year but is putting on a show now.

Roses 1st bloom of the season
A sea of blue.

That 1st pic. is Aquiliga (Columbine), but I couldn't say which one.
Nice show!
