After my own heart...I would have pulled those pink ones too....lol..There's pink and then there's PINK....some of it I like and some of it is just grating. I need to get some more gaura and I'd like some more coleonema and all you usually see, especially up here in the land of no selections is the pink....I guess they think it's more "showy" as far as sales....
I could be wrong...

Bright pink I like, but pastel pink doesn't do anything for me.

For me, it just really depends on the plant and the pink....but pink gaura, coleonema AND pink Love in a Mist are yucky.

Sorry about the multiple posts above, my pc is acting up .....I'm ready to kick it....

This lilac was given to me over a year ago and I didn't know if it would make it...it's now doing fine and I now know what color it is

Rose (Rosa multiflora 'Seven Sisters')

That's just what someone told me and she could have been wrong. There supposedly is such a thing as Red Seven Sisters but it isn't in our database. I don't know enough to know if mine is even that. It's just some old red rose.

Not much info even online of a Red Seven Sisters, a found rose, looks like it got a garden nick name? Supposedly a once bloomer. Seems rare.

Mine is a once bloomer. I grew it from a cutting that came from another plant that was grown from a cutting. DG lists it but there are no pictures.

I know this by the old name Nyctocereus serpentinus. It didn't have a fragrance this morning but at night they smell wonderful.

Thank you. This flower was on a trailing branch that needs to be tied up, but the plant is so tall that it sticks up through the trellis on the porch roof. We had some guys doing work on the house one time and they had to take a picture of that cactus. If we ever have to move, that plant will probably have to stay here. The section above the porch roof has buds on it.
