Wonderful pics, jmorth! Love the mountain views, and your display of Lycoris is gorgeous among all the greenery.

Lovely Crinums, Debbie! I especially love the white one- such a graceful form.

Jan, that glimpse of your garden with Crocosmias is lovely!

JM, gorgeous Lycoris.
Neal, thanks!

Debbie, I'm sorry I'm late in answering your question about the blue flower. I don't always get to post everyday. It's salvia guarantica black & blue, a hummingbird favorite.

Thank you so much Deebie. It is beautiful. Need to put that on my list of wants.

I know, I know...it's August. Just wanted to wish jmorth a Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one, Jack!

hey, thanks Bev...

Happy Birthday jmorth!! Hope it is a wonderful day!!

Desertdenial, that explains it...and I just thought my family had good skin. Now I see it's our obsession with chocolate. We all have the chocoholic gene in our family.

Thanks Marie, yesterday was reason to consume great quantities of chocolate.

Happy Birthday Jack. Sorry I missed it.

and thank you too debbie

Oh my Jack, what is that fabulous flower?

Beautiful flower, beautiful shot, Jack:))

Happy belated birthday!!
Great photos.

Bulbine.

I've only seen that one in botanical gardens. And, thanks for the BD greetings.

Bulbine is a new one on me, had to look it up. It's really lovely! From what I'm reading, it does lend itself to container culture, sounds like one I "need" LOL. Do they require a lot of sun?

Not lot of sun, it's in part shade.
