I have this epi cutting that I've had for years finally bloom, no tag, that was lost with the move and it doesn't match what I've had anyways. It's a cheerful sunshine color at least. It and many of my begonias are all in full bloom on my front porch.

Courier lily in full bloom now, always a great show! I gopher caged the initial bulb but I see so many stalks coming from beyond the caged section, not sure why they are surviving. Blinking

I still have to go out in awhile, to see how the garden fared after the furnace yesterday.

Not sure if I shared this one before but this is Rose 'Mojave'. The bush is taking it hard with the drought but DH has been giving it extra water by hand and it has perked up. It came with the house so it should have deep roots, if roses get deep roots.

Thank you. It's a rose that is pretty in bud and when partially open, but when fully open, it looks like it could use some more petals.

Isn't that pretty? That was the first shot with my camera and I was so thrilled that I didn't notice the couple of small bare stems sticking up there...lol..

This is coleonema "Sunset Gold" and I thought I would have to get rid of it because it has the pink flowers. It came up here with me in a large pot (I did not know which one it was or I would not have brought it, thought I was bringing 3 white flowered ones) and has still not recovered, just rangy looking....but what I've found is that I do like the foliage color now that it's large and I may have to propagate or find another one or two of this.

My amaryllis will often send up a flower stalk out of season.

Just a photo update of my noid Phal. I don't grow a lot of orchids, but it sure is fun to have the few that I have bloom nicely every year. Smiling
