Love your plants Carol. That cym on bottom of the last pic reminds me of my Scallywag (floribunda x). I want a cutting of that coral epi! You have cmail. I love the Deutsche Kaiserin (pink) too. I have 2 of those, one big and one small from cuttings. It's one of my most reliable epis.

Carol, it's beautiful. Is that a mini pond I see? Do you grow lilies there? I just got seeds for N. minutia a miniature water lily, I hope I can sprout and grow them, they are perfect for small pot ponds.

Carol, your place is gorgeous! I love the Epiphyllums just tucked in there and blooming. Lovely Bougainvilleas too! Everything looks wonderful!

Lindsey, the Nectaroscordum siculum is a new one for me. Very interesting looking!

I think so too, Ursula! I've seen them get much taller and I'm hoping that as it settles in , it will take off!
I've got some planted in with Alliums here.

I guess I should add a few thousand more bulbs to get a similar effect? Rolling on the floor laughing
